Clarification:Some of the extended license downloads many of you are getting these days may be part of the partnership we announced earlier this year here:
http://www.dreamstime.com/forumm_39797_pg1. So this would explain why you had so many W-ELs in such a short time.
Some of you may notice a change in your earnings balance, due to a coordination glitch on our end. As of this hour, it should be fixed and royalties are correct now. As you know, when it comes to such high volume downloads, we also offer higher discounts. Based on the credit system, this may translate into different royalties than the regular ones you receive for normal site sales. We apologize for the inconvenience and for the glitch.
We recommend you take into account the total revenue/image as many of you also had RF license downloads for the same images when the first batch download was made earlier this year and although the RF is included in the EL, no refund has been provided for those downloads.
The good news is that we're expecting several similar batches in the upcoming months so more EL downloads to come."

"The update reflects the high volume discount awarded. Our technical team added standard royalties using a special procedure since such buyers are not downloading in a regular manner due to the high volume.
It is entirely my fault for not coordinating the report more carefully and that perhaps, we rushed to report these downloads awarding rather standard royalties than discounted. I apologize for any disappointment this caused.
Hopefully this comes as an early Christmas present. As said, there are more to come, so don't feel too bad."

http://www.dreamstime.com/forumm_39797_pg1"RF license covers the usage only the first phase of the deal. They only need RF, so that's what they're buying. The sales are guaranteed, Google pays in advance.
In the second phase of the deal, Google's clients will be able to choose from a variety of templates, and this asks for an extended license, because they will have more options.
As it always happens within a big deal like this,
we offered Google a lower price than our regular packages, however this won't reflect in the royalties awarded to our contributors, because Dreamstime fully supports the discount."

The question is: Why we don't get standard royalties if DT "fully supports the discount"
