Maybe it wasn't clear what it was. Most goalposts I've seen look thicker (?) than that, with padding and stuff. That just sort of looks like a metal shape. You should have punted a ball over it.

Perhaps your plateau is due to your advertising your most successful images, which people have since duplicated and are selling en masse?

We might even get a few sponsored before November (due date for delivery). I am planning on buying/getting at least two. I will probably end up buying three. Yes, I thought you moved onto much greater and more expensive sponsored cameras. 7488

I can't imagine the "moving down" has anything to do with their sales. People don't go in looking for a photo of something, and suddenly decide they want a vector, or the other way around. If they can get the buttons at the top to stick, they search vectors, or photos.
I just can't see someone saying, "I'd like a vector of a cat. Hey, there's a photo of a cat. Let's use that!" 7489

Thanks for the response - I'll modify that a bit later. I've never heard the bit about prohibiting purchases.

So Tom, what does this warranty get the buyer? If they get sued by someone about something, what happens? If you're just going to pass it down to the artist, I guarantee no contributor has the means to go to court to defend themselves, just because Apple got touchy about a mac book in some buyer's ad. Is your agency willing to take all the risk on this?

General Stock Discussion / Re: Vivozoom« on: September 16, 2008, 06:31 »
Ok Tom, apparently you're part of the team here...
I don't believe we are doing anything different to increase or reduce a contributor's liability for making false claims about images they are submitting to us. Your selling points: Quote Our product and website will be distinguished by the higher quality imagery, a very user friendly and functional website and by guaranteeing appropriate image rights. So, if you're not doing anything different, how are you set apart by guaranteeing appropriate image rights anymore than any other site? Also, since you don't have exclusivity, you're just going to carry the same stuff everyone else does, so how does "higher quality imagery" come into play? 7494

He doesn't make them hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Besides, he's way down a list of people with successful download histories.

Hmmm, sort of, I guess. Missed that part in the FAQ. I don't think it was there when I got the email a few weeks back.
How many contributors want to accept the risk of holding the buyer blameless? That's what you're saying, right yingyang? 7496
General Stock Discussion / Re: Vivozoom« on: September 15, 2008, 20:06 »The only difference though is the sub program is like IS's, which is an improvement. No it isn't. "Our first product offering is a subscription, allowing customers the right to download up to 25 images per day." Sounds like SS. 7497

Whether you are managing your costs, time and IP to best maximize your business income. 1000 SS downloads don't matter if you spent $5000 to get them.
