I advertise some of my portfolios, and in some cases I believe it makes a difference. I spend small amounts of money such as $3 per day.

I had 50 to 100 images approved and only 1 showed up in the catalog manager, and the one that showed up was submitted after the others were approved, and I am seeing intermittent results the past 24 hours. 99% of approved images are not showing up in the catalog manager, or under Active Images.

one of the problems is that Javascript is not multithreaded, so if you add more and more javascript, it slows everything down. it can't do 2 things at the same time. if it is waiting to load suggested keywords, everything will be halted until that process is finished.

you said: "In fact, I dont know what law apply when parties from 3 different countries are involve in a photo complaint for copyright, right to privacy, etc."
when dealing with international laws, you are referring to treaties that are signed between governments. such as the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, or with WIPO.
not all governments sign the treaty. the treaties are then ratified by legislative bodies (such as Congress) in each country. usually, if you have a copyright or trademark in one signatory country, it is either valid in all signatory countries, or it is valid if you pay and extra fee for each country you want it to be valid in.
the lack of world wide legislation negates almost all IP laws (meaning that almost everything is legal once you cross borders).
you said: "In my case the event toke place in Asia (Bhutan) and I am European (France)."
According to the IP treaties, you must first register your copyright in the place where the photo was taken, and second in the country where you live. If you have a copyright in france, because of the IP treaties, it is recognized in the US and many other countries under terms of the Berne Convention.
Copyrights are more likely to be recognized across borders. trademarks require additional fees to be paid per country you want to have your trademark in according to the WIPO treaty.

you said: "You should read the small print on tickets"
venues that print tickets are not legislative bodies, and you are under no obligation to abide by what they print on their tickets, unless you sign that you agree to it.

A nice feature would be to allow us to use our own adsense codes, so we could earn revenue by people visiting our content pages.

I have problems with the captcha, but it is google hosted.
the solution I found is to wait longer (liek 10 seconds after the captcha appears), sometimes it takes time to do the second stage of the captcha (selecting an image). if you do not wait for the second stage, the captcha does not work. sometimes it works without the second stage, sometimes you have to wait.

MD5 and SHA1 are algorithms that are used to create unique codes to identify files. If the same file is uploaded to a web site a second time, it would have the same unique code, and the same file size, so they would be able to swiftly identify exact duplicates, and prevent someone from uploading a file that someone else has already uploaded.
in addition, it prevents a contributor from accidentally uploading the same file a second time.

There is a problem with the press credential philosophy and requirement.
Ultimately, restrictions are made because they violate laws (copyright, trademark, patent, etc). Laws are made by legislative bodies, either through international treaty, federal regulations, or state regulations, and through city ordinances.
In this case, the agency is referring not to a legislative body but to a private entity which has no legislative ability. organizations that require press passes almost never have any legal right to enforce what you can or cannot do with your photography, as long as you take your photos in the public view. Attending an event that is open to the public, regardless of what type of pass you have, would be considered in the public view.
Rules made by private organizations almost never have any legal bearing, press pass requirements included.
Private entities with press pass requirements would almost never be able to restrict your rights in regards to photography at their events. They have no legal justification in the US. The First Ammendment prevents them from restricting your rights to cover their event.
Imagine if it applied to other media such as newspapers, they can't say that without a press pass, you can't write an article about the event. The same is true with photography.
In addition, Freedom of the Press (which includes photography at press events) is protected by the First Ammendment of the US Constitution.
"The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prevents Congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise of religion, or abridging the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press,"
If a private organization tried to prevent a stock agency from selling photos of an event due to lack of a press pass, the organization would lose and the stock agency would win as described above.

you said: "As always, you're being parochial; though I have to admit, I didn't know until recently that the law on this has changed in the UK, and apparently the EU: http://www.ipg.uk.com/ipg-blogs/5958/copyright-changes/what-publishers-need-to-know" your comment and the article you referenced has to do with the extension of the copyright act (number of years a copyright is valid) and has nothing to do with this forum post.

you said: "Needs to lay off the hard Halloween cider."
because of the lack of usage of SHA1SUM and MD5SUM and similar technologies, most stock media companies do not detect duplicate uploads, and they also permit people to upload work that has been uploaded by other contributors. almost every stock agency fails to detect duplicate uploads due to lack of usage of SHA1, MD5, or similar algortihms.

This is direct from the US government: "Copyright Registration of Games (FL 108)" 'Copyright does not protect the idea for a game, its name or title, or the method or methods for playing it. Nor does copyright protect any idea, system, method, device, or trademark material involved in developing, merchandising, or playing a game. " https://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl108.pdfThe reason why games are not copyrighted is because they are not works of art.

you said: " not get a legal education and drain your bank account." You are 100% wrong and you are spreading misinformation. Copyrights protect works of art, such as photographs. The copyright protects the photograph, not what is within the photograph. The photograph protects your rights as a photographer. To say that you infringed on someone's rights because you took a photo of it is not true. You can legally photograph and sell photos of almost anything. The agencies base their policies on non-existent IP 'laws' that do not exist. It is better to have educated agencies that understand copyright laws, than have uneducated and misguided agencies that have no clue about copyrights. Right now, most stock agencies, if not all, are misguided and have no understanding of copyrights and trademarks, and it hurts photographers and limits commerce. Here is an example of an uneducated misguided stock agency (Getty): http://wiki.gettyimages.com/the-walt-disney-company/Images of the above mentioned may be suitable as editorial content with permission from Disney. No you do not need Disney's permission to create content for editorial purposes. And no, board games are not protected in such a manner that stock photos of board games should be restricted.

"Seton Hall Journal of Sports and Entertainment Law" http://scholarship.shu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1043&context=sports_entertainmentpage 242: "To his surprise, however, his attorney seems reticent. When he asks his attorney why, she explains that board games are not copyrightable," "Explaining to those creators why their games are not copyrightable is difficult. " page 243: "The noncopyrightable nature of board games appears generally accepted as black letter copyright law" page 244: "the game itselfthe manner of play, the way the game proceeds, the very heart of the gameappears to be unprotectable."

if you live outside the US, there is a 28% tax withholding that you are subject to unless you live in a country that has a tax treaty with the US and an exemption. All o fthe countries that have tax treaties, and exemptions on the 28% tax withholdings, are all 'industrialized' nations like the UK, Australia, Canada, etc. you can search google for the list of countries that are subject to the tax withholding.

my files are all sent with programs I wrote.
you need to add the metadata using programs like exiftool or similar. then keywords, titles, and descriptions will appear on the site if you fill the proper fields. when you send the file, if the metadata is filled properly, it will be prefilled on the site.
I do the model release forms by hand.
