sure tickstock will show us all that excitement 
Still trolling Luis?
why don't you give us your opinion about this matter instead of that
I think I'll wait until I understand what's going on better. I will say that it's good news that the most visible microstocker has pulled his images off Shutterstock.

I deleted 1000 files
he uploaded 636
And what will happen to the 60,000+ images he's taking down from the other microstock sites?

other than reading other peoples' opinions about Yuri, I've had very few of my own about him. I don't know him. but this move speaks volumes, about the industry, about Getty and about greed versus principle.
Yuri, this seems like kind of a "screw you rest of the industry, now I'm the king of the playground". to each his own I guess.
I think it's a business decision, he thinks he can make more money with Getty than on the sub sites. Why does it have to be more complicated than that? It would be pretty crazy for him to choose to make less money so he can say "screw you rest of the industry, now I'm the king of the playground".
And what's this talk about principle? Is it more principled to license your work through 50 different agencies including Istock and Getty rather than just through Istock and Getty.
So, are you saying that contributors who license only through Getty and iStock are more principled than those who license through multiple sites? If so, it sounds a little like an 'I'm better than you' philosophy....
Nope I said people who sell through 50 sites including Getty and Istock are not more principled than people who sell through just Getty and Istock. You don't get more principled the more sites you license your images on, that's all. Like I said it's a business decision and not about principle at all, whatever that's supposed to mean in this context.

Right I'm saying that isn't a special deal that only Yuri gets anyone that contributes to Getty RF will have their work on different sites. I'm pretty sure fotovoyager was talking about peopleimages or some other site that Yuri directly contributes to.

blendimages has the exact same images on getty, their own site and even on shutterstock.
Getty also distributes files you send to them to many, many agencies, including corbis, master file, f1online etc...so having files only on getty is just not what getty does. They move the stuff around.
I don't think that's what fotovoyager was talking about. Doesn't anyone who contributes to Getty RF have their images put into different places?

If it's a trick then it probably wouldn't work. He did say he's taking his images off the microstock sites and we haven't heard what is happening to his website so maybe he isn't really going to have images at multiple sites?

This is good news for Getty and iStock, not so good news for other Exclusives who are subject to very restrictive rule that others appear to be exempt from.
If they made this 'image exclusive' deal available to everybody then I'm sure they could keep Exclusivity viable. Unfortunately falling sales numbers mean artist exclusivity will become uneconomical in the not too distant future, even if the return per download stays high.
He is taking his images off of all the microstock sites so it may not be that special of a deal in that regard. Also isn't it ok to have a business and personal account as long as similars and sisters aren't on both? His peopleimages site also might be changed to only images that he didn't create, I thought he had other photogs working there.

Lets focus on what we really know. His files have been removed from Shutterstock. Does he no longer trust Shutterstock as a good sales partner? Or does he believe they are going down after many successful years?
The little icon on istock is not as relevant IMO than the fact that he removed his files from the most successfully growing microstock site.
What does it mean for Shutterstock that the "most successful photographer of the decade" no longer has his portfolio with them?
Maybe Shutterstock is not the agency that a few people on here tell everyone it is, don't buy the hype folks.

Do prices matter? In a few week IS can just bump his work up to the signature+ collection regardless of exclusivity
Indeed, but if it's not a bug that he's being touted as 'exclusive', that will confuse the poor bewildered buyers far more than seven collections ever could.
It may just take a little while until the system updates.
