on first very quick reading

- it seems that non-exclusives are being presented with another bitter pill to swallow...  images will be dumped on to Partner Program sites for a royalty pittance, without any option.  It is clear that they didnt dare (in this "first iteration" of changes, as mentioned in an istock forum post) to try and foist this on to exclusives, as they know that this is a deal breaker for many exclusives.  

who knows what the "second iteration" may bring...

(what was/is the point of the online contributor survey?   SFA it seems).

Wish that this negative stuff wasnt my first forum post, but it is difficult to stay silent...

Regards
