Done. Thanks for the link 
+1 Although I don't think it will make much of a difference.  Then, of course, I might be surprised. No harm in signing this petition, either.

I used Lightburner yesterday to distribute a batch to 11 sites. Worked flawless for 8. It couldn't connect to DP. Neither can my own FTP, so I guess DP's ftp server is down right now. Lightburner confirmed submission to SS and CS yesterday and today when tried again but my images still don't show on neither site. Still trying to figure out what's the problem here.
I remember contacting Lightburner support twice on different issues about a year ago. Never heard back. So better don't count on them...

I think we're down to only a few days now. I'm working full days on this.
I am just excited and teasing you, Leo. Wouldn't mind at all if you took a weekend off

Hey, thanks guys! I am ready to go now - Yeah, sure, I am not surprised that the network feature doesn't work on a localhost server. I guess testing the network functions only makes sense after everything else is set up and running properly, anyway. Don't want to rush you, Leo, but when can we start???

Update: New Wordpress installed on my localhost. Ready for testing.
How did you that? Can you point me to some instructions? I want to be ready for testing, too.

That's good news! The finish line is in sight

January AND February have been slow for me on SS . But I don't see any drop in ODs and SODs percentage of total between the two month (or compared to 2012) .

This is so exciting I can hardly wait.
A big THANK YOU, Leo, for doing all the hard work on this.

As much as I'd like to stay non-exclusive, I find it a major pain to upload my work on multiple sites
I submit to app. 10 sites plus iStock. Total time needed to submit to these 10 equals more or less time needed to submit to iStock alone and that is using DeepMeta. If I were you I'd try streamlining my workflow and avoid that choker. But then my iStock income is less than 10% of total. No temptation for me at all...

Pro-Macrostock, but still putting SS's banner on his site.
Nice catch!

Xanox, I feel your reasoning is not the point. This is about a supposedly well-respected company that "got caught using images without a license." Wether or not the photographer was greedy asking more than the offered $15000 is a different discussion. The deal was off and the company used his images nevertheless. Fortunately, they got caught and now just look at their lame excuse.
I really give this photographer credit for asking compensation/penalty in charity and NOT to line his bank account. That doesn't sound greedy at all, does it?

We do not want to support stealing images..
Hmm, so that's why you are offering them for free  - Great plan that'll work for sure! BUT without me...

Please, please keep it up. Your photo website development is the best thing that happened in micro so far this year.
Can we actually start setting up our websites "based on the progress of this project"? Is a part of this already released? I am ready to start, just need to know where...
If you want to register a domain, find some decent hosting, and get wordpress installed, things should be pretty well in stone. Unless I die, lose all my work, or something equivalent. Also I have someone who is going to be bug testing and cleaning up some of my code, so he may help it along faster or delay it based on whatever happens.
In general though (as much as I'd love to give a timeframe) I'm much safer saying "Soon" and "Definitely", and you can plan based on that. Once I finish this part I'm on I'll post a few videos.
OK. I started thinking I was missing something. I am with bluehost.com, which has been recommended to me for speed and reliability with reasonable price tag. Can't say much from own experience since my site isn't up. I started tinkering with CMSaccount Photo Store, then learned of your project here. I stopped any code-tweaking of the CMSaccount package and focused on more general things that will help me with a speedy set up of my website using Wordpress and your project. As I said, I am ready to go...

How many people are following this thread? Like 3? I thought I read that someone actually opened up a website based on the progress of this project. Here's a small update to keep people...updated.
Almost done search results. They are quite interactive with lots of bling and hover stuff going on, custom controls for admins and customers...modal windows.
Why do I feel like I'm designing a whole dang stock photography website like Istock?

No, I don't think it's a great letter. It's more like a rant  . Hope she feels better now that it is all off her chest...

Interesting find. I contacted SS and asked them if that's within their rules. Will they reply?

I use them both. Picworkflow is a great tool for keywording and so on. I never tried its retouching services, though. However, uploading to the micro sites doesn't really work for me. Often, some bug seemed to cut out part of the metadata for a number of images in a batch, which creates a time consuming mess when submitting to a dozen or so sites.
So I export/download metadata from Picworkflow as .csv, use EXIFTool for importing metadata into my Lightroom catalog and then upload to lightburner. From there I distribute to the micros, which most times works flawless and is free to use.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for the update, Leo. I guess everyone is getting as excited about this as I am. Even more exciting will be to where the community will have taken this in, say, about a year....

To be honest (and sorry if it is stepping on anyone's toes), wouldn't it make sense to concentrate on getting the basics right and working with an RF licensing model (much simpler) then work on integrating RM licensing, perhaps as a plugin, later on.
I can see the project is very time consuming or Leo and am wondering if his time is better spent getting the backbone complete first.
For me the most exciting and different thing is the networking of contributors sites together into cooperative groups. That is the real differentiator and what will be new/ powerful about this as opposed to all the other solutions out there.
The integrated search should be the priority. Just my two cents.

Great initiative Leo! I'd like to contribute to and be part of this project. I've just started funneling some spare time into tweaking CMSaccount Photo Video Selling Script ( http://cmsaccount.com/) to become my own stock photo site eventually. What's suggested here sounds being a lot more fun and might lead to much better results because of its community/networking aspects. I got some programming (python) background, but php is still new to me. Don't know how much help I could provide at this end. However, I make a living performing technical translations from English to German, so localizing this theme into German is definitely something I can contribute, apart from testing, discussing ideas and so on. I hope we get this rolling BIG

It's not legit. You can't buy a license that lets you redistribute (leaving Google out of it for the minute).
A takedown notice is the best bet - I don't see any contact info on the site (surprise surprise), so it's a matter of tracking down the site owner from the domain registration, or the ISP if they'll take down infringing content. I looked to see if I spotted any iStock exclusive's work (which would mean there was a small chance IS's compliance enforcement would actually take action) but all the ones I recognized were indies.
Only the copyright holder can send a DMCA takedown notice, so you can do yours but other people will have to do their own.
Thank you for confirming what I suspected. I'd like to move forward with a DMCA notice. However, WHOIS points to guangzhou guangdong china  - I wonder what my chances are having my images taken down. - Oh well, I'll try nevertheless and keep you posted here.

I just stumbled over http://wallpaperswiki.com/. Please check it out. Among tons of beautiful hi-res images (yours?) I found a few of my images there, too. No info at all about who is running this site and where all those images come from. Can this be legit? And if not what can I/we do about it?

SUCCESS!!! Most of those images have now disappeared from that Flickr site. It's beyond me why there are still at least 3 images from DT/SS. In any case, I think this is a very satisfying outcome. Thousand thanks to everyone who helped making DT/Flickr do something about this. @lthn: I guess most microstockers know there's not a chance in making everyone play it fair. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't even try in cases like this where there is a chance, obviously... Have a great week everyone!

Thanks for all your opinions. I contacted both DT and Flickr with the same question if this would constitute a violation of license terms (DT)/service terms (Flickr). Both came back not answering my question at all but giving instructions on how to report such violations. Not at all too helpful. In any case, I did that and will wait and see what happens. It seems to me, though, that starting that thread on DT message board ( http://www.dreamstime.com/thread_28838) had most impact in getting their attention... I'll keep you posted.
