Painters do not work with yellow and blue.
They work with indian yellow and cobalt blue.
or maybe preussian blue if they are suicidal.
it is about white ballance, and shadows. Conflicts.

Exclusivity has to do with convincing the customer that they have to pay more for something because they cannot get it at other places.
Exclusivity has a lot to do with customers and wallets.
Problem is, that on microstock exclusivity is not needed or possible. Its a fake beakon.

im not getting things confused.
They say that...if you are selling your images exclusively, you get more per image.
That sounds good enough.
Sounds like an advantage.
Sounds like you earn more.
But do you?
Think again, why would they want to let you earn more. Because they get something much more valualbe in return.
And that is a trapped photographer getting 16% shares who cannot say no.
Its a honey trap. Its dependancy.

no it doesnt.
it all depends on the specifications in the contract.
You can sell more or less for a long time, or a short or for eternity.
You can sell a picture of your mother to the devil.
or you can timelimit her stay in purgatory.
Words on paper can be important.

its kind of crazy.
On the net Yuri is more famous than all the royalty we have. Princes and princesses of Denmark and all.
- and he pays for himself, that is a good thing.
now let "Se og hr" come after him and begin to really speculate.

thats right.
But it IS funny how flaws in IT systems always work to the benifit of the agency.
Think cell phone and internet suppliers.
They are all so full of S***, and the money always flows in their direction in case of doubt.

« on: May 23, 2012, 08:30 »Well maybe the wording is dreamstimish, but not the concept.Same old story about independents and dependants.
If the customers want exclusively so badly, they can buy the rights.
Exclusivity is only in the interest of the agency, not the costumers and certainly not the contributors.
"buying rights" is an absurd dreamstime invention.
But it is heard of that a microstocker has sold the rights and has taken the picture offline for a period of time.
Anyway, exclusivity and microstock conflicts heavily by the nature of both concepts.
Microstock is about selling masses of pop images.
The customer must search elsewhere to find a unique picture.
Compare it to books or music. People want copies of the same picture, book and music, so that it is the same. If they want unica, they buy Mona Lisa or Gutenbergs bible.
