I had four sales removed for the first time this month, losing out on over $100. I've never had any adjustments before, but I've only been on Shutterstock since July 2019.
Can I write this off my schedule C as a business expense?
No, because you never got it as income.

Lol, some dude with 447 sales is arguing with me on the forum about how DT has the most amazing and easy to use upload interface.
228

The DT upload page looks like it has changed, and I'm unable to drag images to the target. It works ok in Chrome.
Just me?
ETA: Ah, f*ck, the edit image page no longer works with my greasemonkey script.
ETAA: This new interface is going to keep me from uploading there.

Its a hood thing for any business owner. Your business profits get reported on your personal return. So, instead of getting taxed on $100k, you get taxed on $80k because to the 20% deduction.

LOL has nothing to do with Biden or any of the recent political BS.
Actually, pass-through owners who qualify can deduct up to 20% of their net business income from their income taxes. It was a nice break that happened under the orange clown in 2018. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/the-new-pass-through-tax-deduction.htmlTo the OP, I just enter the numbers that Turbo Tax wants, and it magically happens.

No "exciting news" and "this will make us better" part to it all?

"I've even started to submit to Depositphotos once more because at least their royalties are better than scumstock"
And then the "Updates to contributor royalties on Depositphotos" eMail arrives...
Missed that. Anywhere online? And could sales there be any more pathetic to begin with?

Lol, that was quick.

"Piemags"?
What's your USP?
Your initial post, lacking proper grammar, doesn't seem very professional, Paul.

(Thanks God they are white guys, no shootings at this time)
why thank god these are white guys? are you implying that the murders of peaceful protesters and conspiracies to kidnap a governor are acts of 'non-whites'?
That's sarcasm. The implication is that if they were black, the police would have shot to kill for stepping on the steps of the Capitol. Instead, they seem to have removed barriers to allow entry and then took selfies with them inside.

Etsy sales are slow anyway, why give up such an important term, I doubt it really affects your sales?
No Sales!
I was thinking maybe the re-use was causing that? The prices I have are reasonable and more than I get at AS or SS most of the time, but I also don't think allowing someone to re-use for a product that they resell is what I want. If people want to make 100 Christmas Cards, just making that up, I'm fine, but if they want to make cards to sell to others, what's the use?
Etsy is reasonable and people who have nice craft products, seem to do well. Mine aren't that. Maybe I'm in the wrong place?
I'd say a majority of Etsy buyers are people who don't have any design talent, and just want to download stuff to put on shirts to sell, or combine with a quote in a fancy font and resell.

I always do cash reporting, so it all evens out.

Nature as in stuff in my backyard or as in I made a ton of effort going to unique places and finding uncommon things?

Dumb. Lets make some weird complicated thing instead of just being ethical.

Shoot more, worry about ranking less.

The problem is that my work is not for sale on Shutterstock.
It was. A reverse search turns it up. #70409407

You must own the rights to any images you upload to stock and public domain you don't. Can we sell public domain images? Getty does.
If you modify it, like cleaning it up or tracing some thing or whatever, then you have the copyright to that new image.

"Public Domain" is public domain. Not "traditional public domain" or "Creative Commons". https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/public-domain/welcome/The term public domain refers to creative materials that are not protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright, trademark, or patent laws. The public owns these works, not an individual author or artist. Anyone can use a public domain work without obtaining permission, but no one can ever own it. "for example you can not sell them and claim you are the author which some would like to do for sure" I mean, that's a separate issue.

It actually depends on the license itself , not all public domain photos have the same. Some require attribution and a link under the product etc.
Public domain is public domain. If they have requirements for use, they aren't public domain.
249
« on: November 15, 2020, 09:26 »
Sure. The entire point of public domain is that nobody holds the rights.

I don't know if an email would suffice as a property release.
