I would have thought that non-exclusive RF makes going after infringers more or less impossible.
I do know a photographer whos entire business model seems to be to aggressively go after infringement- though the death of RM has put paid to that.

I feel like it is worth bringing community attention to - we are art people here and it is so sad that Depositphotos decided to use war as an excuse to earn some extra buck and spread hate.
Depositphotos stopped payouts to all Russian and Belarusian contributors. There was no notice in advance, Payoneer and Paypal still worked in those countries - people just got emails that starting now they won't get paid but Depositphotos will keep selling their content. As I know they are the only microstock that chose to cut off contributors (and they are already in a pretty sad and bad situation already). No need to say that most Russians and Belarusians do not support the war and are nearly completely stripped of their savings and earnings. We are supposed to create art, not war. So very sad.
I deleted my portfolio from this Depositphotos, don't want to support the owner who chooses a path of hate and discrimination.
Thats very sad that you are caught up in a war you dont support. Not much help to you, but you should know not everyone blames ordinary Russians for this murderous invasion in Ukraine - most people understand its Putins war. I hope it ends soon and you get your life back. Good luck.

I was convinced by the massive bomb crater outside and the screaming women carried from inside on stretchers. Yknow, facts, not the surreal crazed ramblings of Lavrov.

Plant-based food.
Y'know, the basis of all life on Earth. Surely people aren't objecting to Plant Based Foods?

The latest is the children's hospital. It all seems to staged. If a hospital was working fully and then I would have expected many people about. I see a lot of military people and few civilians. I hardly, or actually don't see, any doctors or nurses. And the pregnant woman could have been placed into the scene.
You should be ashamed of yourself for writing this about such a disgusting attack. How have you reached this point where you are denying what everyone knows to be true? How have you lost your basic humanity that you would deny the suffering of these victims? Its just appalling. Please look closely at yourself and honestly examine your motives and reasoning. Bring yourself back from the brink before you cannot recover from this madness.

To support our community, we will be sending an additional payout to our Ukrainian contributors this month of $250. The payout of these funds will shortly follow the normal March payout. Please note these funds will be distributed to all Ukrainian contributors that are already receiving a payout this month.
That's a pretty good gesture. Hopefully it will be followed by more.

I really like the Gursky stuff. It's very, very impressive in the flesh, the images are huge and flawlessly detailed. I wasn't expected to be impressed, but I was.

I've spent the day uploading a few images to opensea to see what I could see. I'll report back if there's any interest. I imagine without some kind of well targeted social media campaign there's little point, but you never know.

Hello, fotoVoyager,
I see you have 6 collections for sale.
How many transaction fees in ETH did you pay for the process and how much in total?
I am willing to give it a try but I am still researching the whole thing. Unfortunately most of the people say you have to be active (mostly on Twitter... and I do now have one) and you have to do the marketing, which is way different compared with stock sites.
Thanks in advance!
I minted my images on the Polygon blockchain, so there's no gas fees. There is a 2.5% fee when a NFT is sold though.

I think this is where Gen X gets left behind.

Ah, you're assuming I know any more than you!
It's the blind leading the blind here I fear.

That is interesting. Seems to make the whole image buying thing even more inexplicably stupid.
Still, if people want to buy them, we should be there. Caveat emptor and all that.

Yes, you can sell any image as an NFT. If you wanted you could try to improve the offer by promising all kinds of bonus sweeteners like saying it hadnt been sold before, but its not necessary. There are no rules where NFTs are concerned.

I'm sure all the agencies are figuring out ways to sell our work as NFTs with the minimum possible royalty to the artist.

Unfortunately there's nothing to stop unscrupulous chancers from selling anyone's work as a NFT, even those that have already been sold as one before. All you're buying with an image NFT is a location on the block chain saying this bit with this image attached belongs to you. Buying an NFT confers no image rights to the buyer, either copyright or the right to distribute it further or any kind of licensing at all.
I imagine none of the agencies have specific legalese in place to try to prevent image licensees minting their download as a NFT yet, but I'm sure it'll be coming soon. Not that that will stop them of course...

Must be an insight we can glean about the Getty inspection process from that

I always assumed it was Leafs effort to monetise the forum he created.
