"For the stock video and photo industry perhaps a traditional peer to peer network would be better then, lets call it StockWire for the sake of this discussion, everyone has their content on their own drives, there is this app that allows customers to search for titles and keywords, preview the clip"

We already had this (hosted on your own website).  It was called symbiostock.  Buyers didn't really care.  I don't really know if I want the world accessing my computer to download things.

This is what Lee told me back then.  I assume nothing has changed.
-------------
Yes, we understand not all countries tax years are the same and this is awkward. We hope to have functionality for you to generate reports for a custom period in the future, but this specific report, with these specific dates, is a legal requirement from the Australian government. Sorry we can't yet help you out with this.

Cheers,
Lee.

This is your shop, I'm guessing?  Some spelling errors.  Minimal content.  Loads ok.

805
Oh, I do that too.  I'll submit five here, ten there.  Still a lifesaver.

806
I have a grease monkey script that reselects the same category and models from page to page.

807
It's more that anytime I tend to buy something, it drops.

808
Now's your time to short Bitcoin.  I bought a share of GBTC yesterday for fun, and it's up $225 already today, lol.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Piegate, Stock Photo, fake news
« on: November 27, 2017, 11:10 »
It just goes to show how low journalism has sunk that it now gets it's news and photos from twitter.

You can also say that it also shows how low the presidency institution has sunk, using twitter for trivial fights with common people, propagate fake news and more... The fish rots from the head.

Today's rotten fish head tweet, if you can believe it:
"We should have a contest as to which of the Networks, plus CNN and not including Fox, is the most dishonest, corrupt and/or distorted in its political coverage of your favorite President (me). They are all bad. Winner to receive the FAKE NEWS TROPHY!"

Sean and others, can you help me understand why a social media presence is sort of a requirement? I don't get it. The definition of stock imagery is images that are bought to serve a specific purpose. Why does it matter whether or not the creator has a footprint in social media?
Thanks.

As a co-op, members are supposed to be promoters or ambassadors for the business to help with publicity or promotion, etc.  Having a social media presence of some sort that can be used towards that end is one way to accomplish that.

2.4(e) of the bylaws says: (e) A Member is expected to support and promote the Cooperative.

I think you are right there is a potential infinite supply of crypto currency some people will be making a lot of money but many more will lose out sooner or later. I expect some of these "me too" currencies will shortly be worthless (if they are not already). They only get free money if someone wants to buy it ;-).

Exactly.  I don't get it.  Hey, I'm crypto-ing SJCoins, who wants in?  Sure, they're imaginary, and sure, nobody will actually let you buy anything with them, but come on, buy them from me!

Sure, there's nothing wrong there.  Makes no sense to me.

Of course people will illegally use photos they steal, but I wanted to make sure the OP realized putting things on IG or FB or wherever is not a license for anyone to use them for free legally.  It wasn't clear from his post.

Putting content on IG or any other social media is not a source of 'free' content for people.  You hold the copyright.  Without a license or permission it is illegal for anyone to use it.

814
Been waiting several weeks on some test files.  Still just sitting there in the queue.

815
i want more than 15-35% from the sale price.

I'd like a unicorn.  But I realize that a real agency requires money to market, host, etc.  I'm not seeing where's there's any benefit here, aside from the cool buzzword blockchain.

816
He mentioned it in his original post. "I'm pretty sure that are and the user change the composition and colors in photoshop like I have done to. But i am he owner and have the raw file of the balloons to prove."

Right you are.  That didn't jump out at me.

817
I don't think anyone called him out.  However it would have helped to mention it was a comp in the first place.

818
but iam then alone and i have costs for licenses payment webspace etc.... If you have Wiredstock with a global landingpage an standardized payment/license/searchengine etc. that would be a better buyer experience.

I'm sorry.  Doesn't the buzzword p2p mean you are alone?  Dealing directly with others?  So you bear your own costs?  Otherwise where is all this content hosted?  Because if it's just a global landing page with payment, license, search engine, that makes it an agency.  With a made up currency.
You can call as you want.
Important is that this blockchain-platform is not so expensive like the agencies today are.

Why not?

That outtake looks like a copy indeed.

Just wondering why the balloons have no shadow on the beach in your original photo? Looking at the woman's shadow, the balloons should be there as well

There is a tiny shadow on the ground, but not big enough for that whole thing and it fades out oddly.  There's also no footprints.  And some other things, like different direction of shadows.  Maybe the OP's image is a comp as well.

Thanks Guys.

So if I understand correctly I can download images from a Russian website that we all know distribute our images for free. And then make same new composites with that images?

Of course not.

Soon there are two months since I completed my application. Sean, do you have any information what the maximum waiting time is ?

I don't think there's any max.  You would not believe the number of images that have been uploaded as part of the CTA.  It's not surprising it's taking a while.  Unfortunately.  Sorry about that.  We're actually in the process of expanding the editing team, which will help.
