General Stock Discussion / Re: How far is too far - copyrights, logos, etc.

A Porsche would be trademarked even if you couldn't see its name or logo. I believe it is called trade-dress, and that can be trademarked.

So, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Shutterstock.com / Re: SS Announces Commission Increase for May 2008

« on: May 13, 2008, 12:14 »

UNDER-WHELMING!!! It is among the lowest commission rate in the industry. I will start crunching the numbers on going exclusive at iStock. SS just shot themselves in the foot.

Here's my thoughts:
Starting with my next photoshoot, upload only to iStock and Mid-Stock sites;
be "exclusive" (as far as uploads go) for 6 months (or longer);
Then start uploading to lousy/cheap subscription sites - like SS.

That way customers interested in "new/fresh" images can go to real "partners", and the cheaper subscription models will get our stale images much later.

I'm just venting now!!!

General Stock Discussion / Re: First sales at Alamy and PantherMedia!

Congrats. I too had my first couple of sales at both, very encouraging.

2 at Alamy in 3 weeks spand of time, and 3 at Panther within one month span of time. Over $300 net commission at Alamy and about USD$60 at Panther. Love the larger payouts.
