How can you possibly say an elegantly and intelligently written statement is Trump-like?  Trump wouldn't understand half of the words in there much less their meaning.  Trump likes Twitter because 140 characters is about the limit of his thinking capacity.  Trump writes and speaks like a fourth grader - he doesn't come close to the way Tryingmybest writes.

(Full disclosure - I have no idea who Tryingmybest is other than what they write in these forums)

Well-written? Yes. It's also full of hyperbole, something Trump is very good at.

I don't see your point for continuing to compare him to a 4th grader. Exaggeration doesn't make the argument stronger...it has the opposite effect. He has come this far without the backing of the GOP, the media and pretty much every important organization out there, so he must be doing something right. And if you look at past the the surface, he has done a lot of things right.

It certainly isn't exaggeration.  He speaks like an elementary school child.  Everything is either "tremendous" or involves "winning" or it's "awful" and "losing".  He has no vocabulary that I've seen, aside from those simple words, and playground insults at others.

Nobody I know has ever expressed any interest in doing stock photography.  Friends or family.

Anyone have any idea on how income (over $600) earned one on foreign website, but never gets reported to IRS are treated? They don't send out 1099s and they have no mention of taxes on their website at all.

You report it, like any other income.

Ok, back when I investigated this, I was still exclusive at IS.  However, I still belief anyone reporting this on a 1099 as "royalties" is incorrect.  See this thread:
http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/'royalties'-on-1099-misc/

Point is, when reporting "royalties", they go on Schedule C as income, not Schedule E as royalties, because, iirc, current income on C is subject to self employment tax and other things, and royalties on E aren't.  And the IRS isn't likely to enjoy you trying to stiff them from taxes on current income.

Am I right?
Are there some other Agencies that "seize" you completely and not only your selected work?

Yes, and no.

Are you the Jack Nicholson kind of joker, or the Heath Ledger kind?

It was some bot posting the same post with different titles every two minutes.

I've emailed leaf.

Greetings.  There are many, many people who already live in those locations, and around the world, that are adept photographers who have filled libraries with their work.   It is unlikely that your vacation shots will garner much interest from buyers.  Instead, spend time with your (not yet bought) camera, and learn the ins and outs.  Take a class.  Experiment.  Have fun.  Don't worry about stock photography.  Heck, it might even ruin your vacation, worrying about what is saleable and what isn't.

What eyewave said.  SS is non-exclusive.  You can do whatever you like with your image.

I told support that I had set all my photos to draft due to the new terms, and to let me know when they changed.  Response was:
"We're sorry our new licenses won't be the right fit for you. Our new licensing system will not be changing from this point on. This is because after surveying the community this was the solution most sellers and buyers wanted."

Starting a site with a similar name to 123RF and posting in this forum where they probably look seems like a dumb idea to me.

Along with bringing up an old thread FROM 2009!  Seems pretty desperate.
