again I have never said that I agree on it or so.. (what have you tell about laflor??) yes heck of a job, whatever, honestly I feel sick looking at his portfolio, I wouldnt do nothing like that, I am not saying I am capable, mostly probably not but I wouldnt do it.. but yeh Yuri is 100% his best mate and approves it! (how many of you would feel the same?)
again the problem isnt in contributors (you can leave your pride, leave yourself and go for the money).. the problem is with agencies who approve this behaviour and I guess are asking for more once they keep on coming..
this 3d pictures are going in everyday not from a person, from a lot of them, but again cant people do them anymore?? then we talked about handshakes etc.. we contributors cannot do nothing, agencies have all the power, thats why I wont put a contributor down, good or bad, thats their way, again I dont agree with copying, but where is the limit legally??

^^^ It's ridiculous to suggest that the example above is comparable to the issue in question. Nobody in their right mind would seriously accuse Sean of lacking originality __ despite having his own work continuously copied by others. The files in question are minor doodles in a portfolio of 10k images (apart from being significantly different figures and perspective).
The OP had clearly set out to reproduce as many of the best-selling images of a particluar well-known, successful artist __ and nothing else. Then he had the brass neck to come on here and boast about how much money he had made from doing so.
You were the only person that clapped their hands in appreciation. Of course you don't make any effort or earn your living from stock so why should you care about those that do?
why dont you read my posts properly? again your are 100%, I havent spent a single minute on stock  I got laflor uploading for me!

stock rocks thats for sure, congratulations IS for having exclusive 3d contributors (also both similar work) and let non exclusives get in with similar work blame the agencies not the contributors

agree with all said, but again the problem is on agencies, they dont care! there are tons and tons of the same best selling pictures..
I havent done one but I guess if Andres or other can do this why not everybody? agencies need to be serious
and then contributors can tell their work isnt similar, the head is different the shape whatever, thats another problem.. but again agencies should be the one to watch, punish this issues..

Luis, with all due respect, if you have to ask....that's a problem. you know if you do it, and others know if you do it. in this example it's blatant IMO.
thats the exact answer I would want to hear, finally!
I agree 100%.. why agencies keep approving?
they keep approving A: because inspectors can't be expected to know every image in the databases....B: because even if the images are copied and do squeak through, the agency makes money anyways because it'll sell if it's good enough.
C: there are always going to be unscrupulous people who want to fastest route to making money
As we know AGENCIES do what they want, remove, cut, etc.. why dont a reviewer know this kind of work? they are SO FAMOUS! Agencies are the ones who are screwing stock, not contributors.. it will never end until they do their work properly, they are just looking into their pockets, not even protecting contributors.. money money money

The legality might be questionable (or unenforceable) but the ethics are not. It's bad enough to be so blatant ... but then to also request 'congratulations' is simply breathtaking.
If I ran an agency and someone did what the OP has done, if the original artist brought it to my attention, then I would simply close the account of the copier. I believe the agencies do have a responsibility to protect their original artists. I think Ioannis should be informed.
nothing against.. but come on.. look at Andres latest work..

I'm a bit confused... Am I in a court?
sorry, but you invited a microscope and your work is strikingly identical to another prolific contributor's images. there's a line between inspiration and copying. sure, we all want to make money and there is a finite number of salable concepts....but you've basically just ripped off a best selling artist's work. you're not going to get much sympathy or help in a forum populated by microstock peers. maybe post your images in a traditional stock forum..they'd be happy to see a microstock contributor being cannibalized.
Where is the limit of "copying"? (I am talking legally not pride or other..) I can add that if this will ever stop it will be from agencies not from contributors we dont own nothing and never will

I will be curious to see with what kind of pictures you all started...
I'm just a bit disappointed to see how it works here 
dont be.. you are on right track, just like "laflor" you have seen what have sales etc and you are doing it pretty well, stock isnt art like ALL TOP guys say!

You probably should be. Or detained in a home for the criminally unoriginal.
and maybe another 10k contributors right?

I haven't noticed a change yet so does anyone know when this is supposed to take effect? I haven't seen a change in royalties with the downloads I've gotten since the announcement and I can't seem to find that information anywhere as it wasn't in the newsletter either.
this minute, just had one great 23%.. less than when I started at 25%.. just awesome!

first time I see it, honestly no value
That's because you don't have enough sales to make it relevant. You can just use your fingers and toes instead.
Thats true, thanks for the tip

honesty I dont believe in this.. how can this be possible? and why?
StockXpert was bought by IS (Getty whatever).. why were Nov and these days Dec 10 sales (Partner Program) been payed.. and StockXpert is forgotten?? dont get why.. what the heck is going on??
You've got it. StockXpert is a mess, a month behind (or more) and IS has paid for the same period. Buy hey, this is MicroStock, where anything can happen and it does!
I agree but I dont get why StockXpert is a mess.. it shouldnt, what have they changed?? how hard is to check sales for contributors?? but I can tell you that PP this month is going the same way, 2 sales today 2 saler the day after dont understand how hard is to click distribute sales and END of story.. they just dont care ok but if they dont why not ending it once for all? if it is giving them money why not been honest and professional!

I don't know Luis...
My canister is silver, I'm only allowed to upload per week 24 of vectors, and 24 of photos..
Ah ok, your post didnt expected you were silver, so the upload limits are equal

illustrators have 24, why is that? when a photographer needs to have 2500 sales to get there..
