I'm afraid to disappoint, but I won't be setting up an agency 
It is an incredible amount of work and very risky, and not what I dream of doing the next 10-20 years. There are people much better than me which would much better suited for the task. MicrostockGroup is what it is (I feel) because it is a neutral stand-point between all the agencies. If it was an agency or part of an agency then the neutrality would be gone. Just look how emotional every Stocksy thread gets.
If I were to set up an agency, I think Stocksy would be exactly what I'd want to set up. No sense reinventing the wheel.
Leaf, just find people to do that except you, and live after from some percentage... Don't lose our good will from this forum... This is an opportunity, for sure!

Poorer countries? I am from the Balkans and I can tell you that food/clothing prices are the same or higher than in the US. Yes, we have a crap but cheap healthcare system and housing/renting is much cheaper but the prices of the main commodities are getting more and more similar across the globe. The main difference is in wages.
Go to New York, take a beer, cigarettes, go to restaurant and then after maybe go to disco.
Than come back here and look your post

You would need around 15,510.52kn (2,286.81$) in Zagreb (Croatia) to maintain the same standard of life that you can have with 6,800.00$ in New York, NY (assuming you rent in both cities).

Come on! Zagreb is not in Croatia as Manhattan is in New York (likely situation is different in New Jersey). Why you don't compare with Dubrovnik in Croatia, but with disco, beer and restaurants as someone mention that here!? Coffee in Dubrovnik is $5 BTW Croatia is a part of EU...

"Soon Shutterstock will only have artists from poorer countries, as the rest of us can't live on the income we receive, and will be forced to use our talents elsewhere."

I reached Alamy's payment amount in December, the website said it would be paid on January 1. As a long time Alamy contributor, it was normal. Today I checked again, it said it would be paid in February 1, 2014. Does anyone know what's going on?
My cleared funds balance is showing as paid yesterday, 2nd Jan - in 'View your account balance'. I have not actually received the money - but payments previously have taken some days after being marked as paid to be processed to my Paypal account. That is normal.
My guess would be that the Feb 1st date will refer to your new cleared funds balance.
Yep! That i true! New cutoff day is Feb. 1st...

Why not payout on the 7th instead of the 25th? Or even the 15th, no they want to hang on to our money as long as possible. 
I didn't get the email either. Way to go.
Because IS is incompetent and unable to process sales for 30 days or more sometimes. They have to delay payments up to 45 days, and hold on to our money as long as possible. Nothing like SS that reports sales the same day and pays first week of the following month.
Money on their account for a longer period mean more bank interests in Getty's pocket! One way more to earn extra money, and how to show themselves as a "solvent" company with lot of cash due to their rating on stock market... So conclusion is that Getty doesn't see us as their Partners in any way... We work more for them than for ourselves just because of "a thought", it is easier than digging channels in dirt...
