why dont you read the lawsuit? it is all explained there. she didnt give up her copyrights, nor ownership, she donated the images to the LoC with a licence to share the images with the public for free. they are not in the public domain, she still owns copyright.

602
did you read the lawsuit? Ms Highsmith has been on the phone with alamy and getty telling them she is the copyright owner of the photos  and they had no rights to sell them, and they kept selling them after the phone call. so yes, alamy and getty made cataclysmic mistakes

in fact had they listened and taken the images down it would probably have been the end of it, but they didnt, they chose to keep selling them knowingly violating her copyrights.

603
you really should read the lawsuit https://www.scribd.com/document/319553374/Gov-Uscourts-Nysd-460787-1-0#fullscreen&from_embed

it is a good read i have to say, interesting stuff, looks like getty and alamy are caught red handed and its quite unbelievable that 2 professional agencies have made these cataclysmic mistakes

no, facebook images will get you the same royalties as your subs,

605
photographers are like deer staring in headlights, 70 f*cking grand and people dont even take action, nothing, youd think that for 70 thousand dollar it wont be hard to find a lawyer who would take this on

maybe Locke can chime in, he had to take a similar route

607
you are contradicting yourself and then actually confirm what i said,

have you ever seen this infograph? http://www.shutterstock.com/blog/contributor-earnings-report or read an annual report http://investor.shutterstock.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=251362&p=proxy

it is not weird to think that during the european night there is not as much activity on a portfolio predominantly containing western images

maybe your portfolio is selling as much  during your evening and early night, as it does during the day, mine isnt, which is not weird

NA and EU together have  73% of ss sales, ROW has 27%

lets say 5pm in LA, is 3am in romania, so for 6 hours there is no one working in the us and eu, which is what i said in not so many words

so no, my statement is not ridiculous and based on facts, i never said there are no downloads during the night,




608
so now it is the algorithm? boy you are confusing

609
yes pauws but ldv says its just basic economics, supply and demand

610
this is totally different for each individual, one will come here and say 2000 dollar with 800 images and the other will have 1000 dollar from 10000 images, doesnt tell anyone how succesful or how much money they will make

611
LDV81, please explain why people suddenly see a massive drop one day to the next, as happened in this july for a lot of people ?

612
the most downloads come from europe and the states, at 5pm in the US theres basically no one working till 9am in europe.

also,  shutterstock has roughly 12.5 million downloads per month. if those would all be subs and  go to 25 cent portfolios they would make 1.5m usd more per month, not millions. but many 38 cent portfolios still getting sales,

your statements are emotional rather than factual

613
sorry but who buys images at night?

614
still saves you time, your suggestion was that it doesnt

615
how does it detect a design or trademark furniture or sunglasses which diesnt have logos or text?

616
if no human looks at it, who detects trademark infringement

617
i can understand the rejection for  composition,  but auto keywording is not a replacement for your own keywords but more asa tool to save you time or make things easier

618
I look at it theres more images and contributors every day  to share the earnings with,  or is that too complicated? haha

619
it cant really be phishing if they ask you to login to your account and reset your password,

that email address seems to be their new address from which they send communications

620
rapide, you said "FACT - single earnings 28 -102 dollars have vanished"

no they havent, it is an incorrect statement and not a fact, no other way about it

621
Shutterstock.com / Re: Downloads without keywords?
« on: July 20, 2016, 07:57 »
click through, direct links, referrals, similar images, portfolio browsing, so many possibilities

622
i wonder how people get their hands on so much weed to photograph

623
your sales are reported here http://submit.shutterstock.com/stats.mhtml

dont look at the gallery, thats not the place where they report sales, if you get a reply from ss they will tell you the same

if ss was under reporting sales, it would have been a shitstorm ages ago, the fact that this thread only has 18 replies, half of them off topic, tells you that there is nothing to worry about

LR is still available as standalone, so there is a need for RD me thinks

625
andres rodriguez was a web designer before the became a photographer. he was an amateur photographer when he joined shutterstock in 2004, this is one of his first images, super talented guy, but crappy photos to start with, this was the level found on ss in the early days, this is not high end nor pro commercial stuff



i wonder how many sales he got on that one, haha
