Top 10 Most Feared Comments in Microstock (I just put my 3 items in the list thus need help completing)
1. Microstock Company- “We have increased our Marketing Department to sell more of your images” - Translation - Commission Cuts
2. Microstock Company- “We have a New Partnership” – Translation- Giving away the farm (Free images or very low rates)
3. Microstock Company- “We are Excited” – Translation- Less Sales due to some sort of rebalance or alignment in their inventory

Google is an important partner for us and we have many innovative licensing arrangements with them in place and in negotiations. Our goal is to continue to expand and improve this partnership over time – to the benefit of everyone involved including Google and it's customers, as well as Getty Images and our contributors. This is a long term objective that includes pricing, copyright protection, and volume.
