Thank god I never started submitting to that bottom feeder....hopefully it dies a quick death

The prices look low but buyers don't use their full download limits with subs.  We will get 50% of the subs revenue and that should be much more than $0.13.

"All revenues of the subscription (also unused credits!!!) will be shared fairly with 50% with the contributor."

I will see how it goes, there is an opt out, so if commissions are too low, I can get out of it.

Of course if the buyers like it SS and FT and others will introduce the same model -- for the buyers but probably not for the sellers.  Not looking good.
