does SS have any optional programs such as API, sharing with other sites, etc, that are opt in?
I only see opt in for photo & video. I would think there were more
trying to determine if I opted into something that reduced my sales

I uploaded some photos when my router had crc errors. the photos arrived damaged, with 90% color banding across all the images. they were obvious garbage.
you could not see any detail in the photo or tell what they were
they were all approved by alamy.
they do not do a visual inspection

...buildings themselves are not works of art and cannot be copyprotected.
...but they can be rejected by agencies for whatever reason they like, which is what you seem to miss, every single time.
I have never missed it a single time. what you are missing is that people should know true interpretation of copyright law and not incorrect interpretations of law. I am merely educating people on mistakes they are making on copyright law. istock removed a lot of their restrictions on buildings after I educated them.

United States Law
Beginning in December 1990, U.S. copyright law added protections for architectural works. Designs that were published after December 1, 1990, are protected. So are unpublished designs from before 1990 as long as they were constructed by December 31, 2002.
[/quote]
the above refers to the architectural drawings, not the construction or photos of the building.
that means no one can take your design and go build another building that is identical. it does not prohibit or limit photos of any building. buildings themselves are not works of art and cannot be copyprotected.

copyrights protect works of art.
buildings are not works of art
the copyright protects the work (photo), not what is in the photo. there is no copyright protection for something within a photo.
you can legally take photos of almost anything and sell it, including logos, trademarks, etc.
Andy Warhol famously did paintings of logos and products because it is legal in almost every country.
no building owner can demand a license for you to sell your photo.

got a weird difficult to understand message from 123rf where they are saying they are no longer accepting video.

has anyone had any experience with a stock agency terminating your account or contract, and then allowing you to reapply so they can force you into starting over again at the lowest pay rate?
thanks

Istock is telling me via email that images that have the same person, doing the same pose, where one is a close up of the face and another is a full body shot is 'too similar', and that a full body vertical shot of a person vs a horizontal torso shot are 'too similar' and have limited my uploads (to an unreasonably low number).
I have 50,000 photos. they want me to upload a max of 50 per week.
no advance warning.
I am going to lose out on all those 1 cent photo sales.
I am not complaining, I am just notifying the rest of you because they do not warn in advance, they just place the restriction and refuse to resolve it.

Any other creative ways to get aerial photos without a drone?
I have rented airplanes and helicopters, and gone to the top of towers. airplane / helicopter rental costs about $250 per flight. with a helicopter, you should use a stabilization system, and the rotors are in some of the shots.

adobe / fotolia

U of Alabama vs Daniel Moore:
judge rules it is legal for photographers to sell photos that contain the trademarks of others
I think you mean that is legal under restricted terms of use (editorial).
At the contrary, It would be difficult to understand why stock agencies reject images with copyrighted items or logos.
About FAA, it is not for editorial use, for sure
no, I meant it is legal to take photographs of the trademarks of others and sell them for a profit. trademark protection prevents others from using your brand to identify themselves. there is no trademark protection that prevents a photographer from selling a photo. it is how the photo is used that matters. selling the photo is not considered 'use'.

Good idea. Descriptions are used in searches, and adding relevant words in your descriptive sentence(s) gives you additional keywords if you hit the max of 50.
Plus, descriptions get placed in the page's title, which is good for search engine indexing.
I hardly think this new minimum should cause anyone any grief.
increasing the length of a title increases the length of the URL which is then penalized by search engines. this will have the opposite result of what was intended. having more keywords reduces your keyword density which is also penalized by most search engines minimum word length = bad idea

now the "okay" hand gesture is being rejected by at least 1 stock agency

you wrote: "If you are getting mass rejections what has that to do with CanStocks financial status?"
new uploads go onto a hard drive on their privately owned servers, with no rental fees for disk usage
approved content goes out to a CDN which they have to pay a daily / monthly fee per megabyte
if they stop accepting new submissions, people think they are going out of business
if they approve new content, they have to pay more in CDN fees
that is how I know they are having financial problems.

the DMCA protects the stock agencies.
however, I am pretty sure there is a copyright law that predates the DMCA that states that once they know there is infringement, they become liable from that date. so even if you are not the owner, the site is still liable if they do not take any action.
