"The very creatives that give Getty/iStock such a high quality product get treated like this?! This can't be more wrong." - recent comment from the petition Tomorrow is the day our royalties are slashed. There's no reason the petition, and any media attention it can bring to Getty/iStock policies, should stop tomorrow, though. As people's royalties start to shrink (the people who stay with iStock, for some reason), and many people pull their work, there will be even more to report. If you haven't signed yet, remember the petition will still be there. Almost 1,100 signatures now, including signatures from hundreds of buyers. https://www.change.org/p/jonathan-klein-getty-images-istock-don-t-slash-our-royalties

Influx of buyers signing the petition. Some new petition comments: "I'm sick of the little guy getting screwed." "As a freelancer and artist, I stand firm with my fellow freelancers! Without talented freelancers, Getty Images/iStock would not be the same. Don't force artists to leave your platform because of this HUGE pay cut." "This is an outright attack on freelancers and a reduction to slave wages." Will most likely hit 1,000 signatures today. https://www.change.org/p/jonathan-klein-getty-images-istock-don-t-slash-our-royaltiesNew comment: "As a design director of a large publisher, I appreciate the work that goes into good photography and illustration. I feel that artists (photographers and illustrators) should be paid a fair price for the work. Getty's decision on subscription royalties will affect where I purchase photographs or illustrations."

Based on comments here and feedback from many people via PM, phone and email, we'd like to adjust the petition to ask for what most people want from iStock. The poll will run for 2 days and then the adjusted petition goes up on Change.org.
