It'd be great if 123RF paid 100% to us, and then we could donate to pay them if we though there was value.

So, did this die off already?  I haven't seen anything offered since the first one, weeks ago.

"And no, board games are not protected in such a manner that stock photos of board games should be restricted."

Obviously they are since the board is covered in copyrighted artwork.  Like any other piece of artwork.

Not again.

StockChain will act as a mediator and will charge 5-10% which will also be used to cover legal and accounting costs. However, we will not be involved in price setting. Contributors will set their on prices and charge buyers based on the terms they set, similar to ebay or other p2p platforms.

That's great that you're doing all this work for free! 

833
Well, they're not an agency, right?  It's "peer to peer".  That means no middleman.

834
Isn't "peer to peer" an artist selling directly to a buyer?  I'm not sure where these guys fit into that, since they want to do marketing and take some sort of commission.

835
One of the key components of DAO is that it incentivizes all network participants (in this case contributors and buyers) to expand the network and bring more participants as trading takes place in native currency which everyone in the network holds.

I don't want to be paid in "native currency".  I want US dollars.

836
How is this "peer to peer" if you're going to do marketing and transactions?  That makes you another "agency".  Albeit one that doesn't know the true cost of marketing.

I don't think I'm really interested in making buyers get accustomed to licensing "cheaper", even if it means a few more cents for me.

837
I don't think you understand what symbiostock was.  Not the hosted pls form.

Anyways, I'm not interested.  I don't have time or interest in finding my own buyers.  That's why I split the fee with an agency.  "Blockchain" sounds cool and trendy, but I don't see how that helps anything.

If people want custom work, they can just get in contact.  I don't need a platform for that.

I have all my images uploaded and all are now showing an orange spot (minimum requirement for adding to queue). Is there a way to add all the images to the submission queue with one move or do I have to add each image singly? Thanks.

The usual shift or control to add to selection.  Also, cntrl-a if one is already selected.

I asked and they got a ton of response and are actively going through and evaluating many a day.  So it is moving along.  Just a lot to get through and still a small team.

Oh, I didn't go on holiday in the hope I would earn the money for the holiday back. That wasn't about the money I spent for the holiday. I have the feeling that my husband had a holiday and knows so many things I simply didn't hear because I was so busy to take photos for microstock. He had a holiday while I had microstock in my head. I spent a lot on props for food photography which I needed only for microstock and didn't have and for christmas things I wouldn't have bought for myself. But most money I spent for food photography and they are my worst selling images. I am not talking about money spent on food. That I am eating. :) Just the props like knives, peelers.......Last year I bought Christmas decoration and I just about got the money back that I had paid for it but I didn't earn any money. Editing, keywording and uploading is far too time consuming to consider this a hobby.

Sounds like the definition of insanity.

Our acceptance time is a week or less. But nobody is telling you to withhold submitting to other places until after you're accepted.

Sorry about the name.  That's why it's good to be upfront.

Secondly, as its time-consuming searching for your stolen images. The platform helps the photographers track their images online. The system will be able to tracks images and create a report letting you know the URL the image thumbnail etc.

Anything like this must account for cropping, flipping, filters, etc.

Thanks Sean... I also don't see until when is the call for artists opened?

Jim, Indeed, being accepted would give some sense of purpose to all this...

I don't know of any close date yet.

I am here looking for some info on copyright infringement. I saw a lot of complaints regarding the same and wanted to join the discussion.

I would like to know how big this problem actually is.
How much time does a photographer spend looking for their images online?
How does it affect the photographers?

You seem pretty well versed in the subject: https://www.fenwick.com/professionals/pages/mangeshkulkarni.aspx

What are you looking for?

"Weve changed to a "credit" based purchasing system, allowing us to offer significant discount for our buyers, while not affecting the high commissions our contributors receive for their image sales."

Sigh.

The submit upload page needs work.  Each image takes up far too much screen space.  The numbers under keywording aren't correct.  I think it's supposed to be X/100 keywords, like 5 out of an allotted 100, but it's giving me numbers like 223/100.

The mix of sans and serif I didn't think was working too well.

Also, the favicon for me is still the old flame.  Maybe it's in my cache or something.
