The "My Profile" link did work. Even here in Germany. Well, in fact i switched from German language to US English and could find the appropriate button 
Thanks for describing the "how to".

Apparently there are two different systems to get accepted as a buyer on DPC:
a.) you pay 99$ once a year and get 99 hires downloads in total. If one needs more downloads, further downloads are available each for 1 $.
Print run isn't limited, image use isn't limited (= VIP membership, guaranteed membership at once).
b.) you pay 10$ per month and get 10 hires DLs right away. Additional DLs 1$ each. Apparently only 30% of the aspirants
for a monthly subscription model get accepted. (= Membership on a monthly basis, approval time 48 h).
All my pictures are already available on DPC for download.
And yes - we should do something against this.
Just think of DPC becoming a success. How will the other agencies react?
Will the PPC (Penny Photo Club) be the next step?

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Hold on to your wallets! "There are irregularities with October's PP royalties"

Received my IS-mail today: They take away a considerable amount of money whereas they suggest to do it on a monthly basis:
"We discovered that there were some irregularities with September 2013 and October 2013 Partner Program royalties payments. There were a number of contributor accounts that were overpaid royalties over these two months. Unfortunately your account was one of the affected accounts.
We have calculated the over payment amount to be $xxx.xx. Rather than take this amount out of your royalty balance in one adjustment we have decided to schedule the removal of these funds over a 6 month period. Starting before the end of February 2014 we will begin removing $xx.xx. Once per month for the next six months we will recoup the balance of the over payment. You will receive a monthly notification as immediately after the funds are removed."
My sales within this period have been quite good but for sure not as good that they take away this sum of money. We don't have any means to control all the monetary scenarios arising from our microstock activity. It is kind of a "game of luck". Quite disappointing. Confidence and faith don't have no meaning. What a pity.

I wonder why nobody is talking about some M 4/3 models. When money is important a Olympus PEN (E-PM, E-P) or anything comparable could fit the bill.
Small, rather inexpensive and meantime with quite an attractive set of lenses to choose from. And IQ wise the M43-system really isn't bad ...
