Congrats, Istock is the best place to be, if you are exclusive. In these times of agencies fighting for cents with subs programs, IS offers the best deal and a devent sub program, Being exclusive you can sell your pics for a resonable price and at a reasonable comission (being Diamond). Right now, I don't see another site worth for itself, besides, maybe, Veer.

Another thing is the photos.com deal. Well, at least there's and opt-out.

The writing on the wall is starting to become pretty clear for both exclusives and independents who submit to Getty sites.  All that happened was they tried to toss the frogs into the boiling water and they jumped out.  This time around they are wisely placing the frogs in the cool pot of water and slowly turning up the heat.
