But when I tried to login a second time, it doesn't work. So bigstock thought I stealed my own password or what ?

So, I mailed the support and wait for an answer.

I changed my password at bigstock, cause someone changed the password from my girlfriend at bigstock. She resetted the password and now it works. But someone looked in her account, has now her adress and paypal-mail. Not good. She asked bigstock why this could happen and wait for a respond.

In dollars Q3 2014 was down 50% compared to Q3 2013 for me.
RPD Q3 2014 was down 75% compared to Q3 2013 for me.

In dollars Q3 2014 was down more than 80% compared to Q3 2009 for me.
RPD Q3 2014 was also down more than 80% compared to Q3 2009 for me.

But I don't upload new pics.
In 2009 istock-income was enough for my monthly fixed costs.

Image Sleuth / Re: User "dzein" stealing my vectors
« on: August 29, 2014, 08:36 »
Is there a way, that we can get the money, fotolia earned with stolen pictures?
I knew many cases fotolia earned thousands of dollars with stolen content.

For me it looks like a part of their business-model.
The thieves get 20% and fotolia takes 80%.
The original author get nothing.
Also the algorithm prefers new content.
In the result the originals didn't sell anymore, only the stolen content works.
They earn millions of dollars with stolen content.

Theoretical we can take the money from the thieves with the help from our lawyer. (But normally it doesn't work.)
And it's not correct that fotolia earns money with stolen content !!!  >:(

(I think the other agencies are not much better in this case. Or...?)

"Downloads per image:    35.76"  :)
small portfolio, but good working pictures.
...and a nice RPD.
the mixture ondemand/subscription works.
I like them.
...and the communication works!

for me it's the total opposite to fotolia!!

iStockPhoto.com / Re: iStock PP has started for November
« on: December 21, 2013, 07:02 »
Ok, Getty sold my eps-file for 300 USD and gave me 45 USD (15%).
But which rights bought the buyer ?
(normal) royaltyfree or something extended ?

iStockPhoto.com / Re: iStock PP has started for November
« on: December 21, 2013, 06:09 »
Thanks for the info!
But it's really horrible chaotic with all these different selling-structures.
So I have to read and read and translate and read again and...

In the moment I have also only one partnersale for 45 USD from the 14th.
It was sold by Getty Images.
But I can't find my picture on gettyimages.com...
And I'm not exclusive.

Sorry, without the names of the copyrightholder, I have to disable you as API-partner at Yay.
Bad start.

Adobe Stock / Re: New relevancy search at Fotolia
« on: April 30, 2013, 05:57 »
Keywords in US-english. (cause of the catastrophal translation-tool)

Downloads and earnings the same like in the last months.

...but earnings half of 2010 and 2011 with tendence clear down, cause of repeated cutting RPD more than 50%.
Cheaper prices and cutting comissions, more and more subscription and unfair (fraudulent) new subscription-models...


15
So. The first 10% of my illustrations are deleted.
I will think about what I will do with the rest.
A RPD at fotolia under shutterstock-RPD is not acceptable for me.

Also I hate these phrases in the newsletter:"We want to harmonise the conditions..."
What a bad joke !!!

Adobe Stock / all vectors for 4 credits - for nonexclusivs
« on: April 17, 2013, 03:37 »
I got a newsletter from fotolia.
From now on all vectors for nonexclusives cost only 4 credits.
4 x xs-price. But as a nonexclusiv you can't change the xs-price....
So I lost 50% from my vector income.
Great.
Maybe I delete all my vector-files at fotolia ?
I'm really thinking about it.

------------------------------

15 minutes after I got the newsletter the prices are set down.
Ok. I start to delete my files !
One after another.
I hate fotolia. Really.

Veer / Re: Not getting paid?
« on: September 18, 2012, 13:26 »
They said, cause of the weekend it will be later at payoneer or paypal...
They sent the notification last Friday (with payment date Friday).
...but now Tuesday comes to end.
not so correct...

Veer / Re: Not getting paid?

I wrote to support.
Ryan answered, that on monday/tuesday the money will be paid.

Jan 12   1,00 (1)
Feb 12   4,97 (2)
Mrz 12    16,50 (4)
Apr 12   1,35 (2)
Mai 12    58,00 (16)
Jun 12   63,50 (7)

For me it works good with a small portfolio.
Better than last year...

Veer / Re: Dashboard Issues?
« on: August 03, 2012, 06:01 »
Veer becomes more and more uninteresting for me in any case...
It's normal that the dashboard works not reliable.
It's normal that the rpd and rpi goes down.
It's normal that the inspection time is toooo long.
It's normal that the communication does not work as it should work.
It's normal that the fact, that Corbis is behind Veer, means absolutly nothing.
For me Veer works normal.
But they started hopefully for me.
Long time ago...

Nice to hear that your account is closed.
You sold pictures and didn't own the copyright.
Clear situation and clear statement and reaction from dreamstime.
I hope the other agencies will do the same!

I found too many of people like you, selling my pictures in many variations.  :-[

I think it's grazy to upload files to an open ftp-account.
Unbelievable.
