New Sites - General / Re: Clipdealer - any experiences?
« on: April 28, 2016, 18:40 »
I didn't think I would ever get to this. But because of lack of communication, lack of sales reporting and my footage on a dozen different agencies that they send the actual file to under a different name than mine or CD ... I've requested an accounting and immediate deletion of all clips at all of their affiliates. I have no faith or trust left in them. Sorry CD, once you had a chance, now no more.

General Stock Discussion / ClipDealer ... dead?
« on: April 28, 2016, 18:36 »
I have had a large number of photos and footage (nearly 3,000) at ClipDealer since almost their beginning. Communication has completely stopped, no answers to e-mails anymore.

They distribute our footage to many low level, little credibility agencies, not just as a link back to ClipDealer but actually send the full files to these agencies. The copyright owner or photographer of our clips on these sites is listed as a made up name and not ours. They seem to have taken the copyright and using one of their "hidden" names.

Sales are non-existent, none for over a year and then one or two a year. I have over 20,000 clips at other agencies and sell very well. I do this full time and support my family and lifestyle very well.

I never thought I'd get to the point of deleting all my footage from an agency but I requested ClipDealer to immediately delete the nearly three thousand clips. Again, no response to my request and an accounting to what I think may be a lot of lost or stolen sales due to no reports and lack of control over a dozen other agencies they sell through.

I had a lot of faith and trust and hoped they would do well. I've lost all my faith and trust. Make your own decision but be aware of how they distribute your footage and the complete lack of sales reporting.http://www.microstockgroup.com/Smileys/default/angry.gif

ClipDealer re-distributes Artist footage to many small unknown agencies to sell. In many cases they actually transfer the files to them and not just a link to the CD data. When they re-distribute your footage the credit is a different name than ClipDealer or your own. It does appear that the footage is stolen but CD says they are affiliates. Sales are all but non-existence.

I've been with them for many years. Would I recommend them ... absolutely not. Five years ago yes. They re-distribute our footage to many other agencies throughout the world. It's not just a link to ClipDealer but actual giving them the file. No way to track. The affiliate agencies use a different Artist name than CD or our own names so it looks like someone "stole" your footage and is re-selling. Sales are all but non-existent in last few years. There is no transparency on how or what they sell. Total lack of control or accountability. Nope I would not recommend them. Sales are not worth the time or energy.

Sorry, bad luck, troll etc etc ... too bad. It's time for Craig to notify everyone he owes money to showing either payment or court ordered bankruptcy. In either case he has a legal obligation to pay. If bankruptcy he has a legal requirement to notify each and every debt he owes, that is all of us. Just taking the site down and going away does not relief legal obligations. So Craig ... what is the plan or file for bankruptcy and notify all of us of that action so we can comment.
