FYI

Panthermedia

New commission structure
at PantherMedia

Dear photographers,

we have revised and simplified our commission structure. Additionally, the average payout for image package and subscription downloads will increase.

Subscription downloads

You will continue to receive 0,23 EUR for downloads with our Standard Licence.
New: For distribution partner subscription downloads you will now also receive 0,23 EUR.
New: Our subscriptions with extended licence rights will include one of the following: Corporate-Licence, Social Media- (new) and/or PR-Licence. These subscriptions will only be sold within individual licence agreements.
You will continue to receive 0,46 EUR for extended licence susbcription downloads.

Legal note: As of today, there will only be one option for accepting subscriptions. If you agree to sell your images within subscriptions, they will also be sold within partner subscriptions.

If you want to opt-out of the subscription model, please deactivate the subscription option in your Policy Management. This setting will become effective in two weeks.

---more like if you opt out they will close your account? This sounds familiar...

I'm affraid many people will not care, just make any money. We saw that before with other "great" agencies examples

Again, I'm glad I left PM months ago. It's not going right direction.

"0,46 EUR for extended licence"? LoooLLL!

"International Taxes

PantherMedia has to deduct a general income tax at 15% for all international photographers outside of Germany (§15a German Income Tax Act)."

0,46 - 15% = 0,39

I just opted out from their subscriptions!
After I reach the next payout I will remove my portfolio! They are so slow seller for my images, I won't miss them at all!

Instead of opting out of the subs I CLOSED my account yesterday! Not worth the effort to continue to upload there anymore...

What was the old commission? Is it an improvement?

I figured it was easier to just stop uploading than trying to understand the new structure. Waste of time

Funny that Zoonar don't deduct tax at 15% unlike PM who claim that they have to by German law

Any way they aren't getting any of my images not at 23 euro cent subs.

I calculated it will take 10 years for me to reach payout with this gang.

Correction 68 years
