No special agreement, anyone can get that deal if they license a few million dollars a year worth of stock images.

That is his one and only statement and this thread is about that one issue, what have you been posting about if not that?

Heaven forbid that we should indulge in semantic nitpicking.

I got it.  ;)

A few weeks means 3 or 4 weeks.  Not 3 months.  So, not only is he getting whatever special "exclusive" IS rate negotiated, he's getting royalties from the thousands and thousands of images still sitting on every site besides SS.  Plus buyers are being misled (false advertising).  You'd think with 100 interns, it could be sped up a bit.
Well it has been a month now, maybe it will happen in your gray area between 4 weeks and 3 months?

Oh I thought you were referencing me since you quoted me.  You should have realized what Yuri said, you quoted that too.

Yuri isn't a liar, we all make mistakes, sure he meant a few months, not weeks ;D

"Few" could be a couple months, depends on what your perspective is.

Heaven forbid that we should indulge in semantic nitpicking.

The word "few" is ambiguous it just means a small amount, I'm not sure who you are saying is nitpicking but I had a teacher that always used to say nitpicking is a good thing because nits grow up to become lice.

I'm referring  back to Kelvin's unbelievable post about the meaning of 'exclusive':
http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=354349&messageid=6901065
So what iStock "exclusive" mean? Not what the definition on the crown icon says, for sure.
I didn't actually know that Yuri has said he's taking his images down from competing micros, but he's certainly not in a hurry to do so.


Hi Guys.
We have found a good distribution partner (Getty Images) for the kind of content we produce. We will be removing all images from microstock doing the next few weeks. Microstock, especially subscription sites, are not suited for the kind of high production cost images we produce.
Best Yuri

Why did it take you so long to realise that?
Have they bought over PI?
