Dreamstime and Pixmac Investigation
red:
FYI - DT just announced this regarding the Pixmac investigation -
Update:
Going back to the issue reported a few months ago:
Our contributors will receive their due earnings resulting from sales made by this former partner. Once the earnings balance is adjusted accordingly, the contributors will be notified by e-mail. Some of you will see changes in their balance so make sure you check the e-mail for such notifications.
Our action taking has been aimed at ensuring that the contributors' royalties are correctly awarded and the sales correctly reported. This has been achieved and as mentioned, many of you will see adjustments in their balances and sale reports.
At the same time, we will continue auditing and making sure there is no further infringement that can bring financial or image damage to our community. Our Alliance and partnership program has been launched to increase exposure and sales and has been thought as equitably beneficial for all parties involved: contributors, agency, partner. While we act fair, we expect the same response. At this point, we can only say that we are very disappointed by the unexpected outcome of one such partnership and consequently we'll do our best to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Well, that is good news for the contributors who were infringed upon. Glad to hear something was done to correct the wrongdoing.
So if agencies are willing to financially compensate, I take it that there was actual infringement going on, and it wasn't just a case of "politics", as Pixmac keeps saying.
WarrenPrice:
Are they friends again?
I didn't understand anything in that response that stated the latest relationship between Pixmac and DT, did you?
zager:
We are currently waiting for an official response from the other side and will publish official statement here once we have the reply. Our partnership is not going to be renewed. Pixmac is not interested in further cooperation with the former partner.
Update: As well as former partner is most likely not interested in further cooperation with us.

I wonder if that is why I got this email today

A shame there was a misunderstanding / errors ... nice to see that Dreamstime is double checking their accounts.
