Hi all,

I have just recieved 5 rejections due to missing property releases...

The full rejection mail is here:

---------------------------------------------
We regret to inform you that photo 24654917 the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican has not been accepted, due to the photograph containing elements protected by Intellectual or Industrial property laws. Please understand that we made this decision purely for legal reasons.

Perhaps you could view our bog 'Rights: Trademark Representation', which discusses trademark laws: following Fidelia article>http://bog.Fidelia.com/UK/legal/brand.HTML

Basically I really do accept and understand the occasionally rejections and normally I wouldn't give it another thought.  In this case it really seems to be anything but consistant with Thai normal policy... 


This is one of the images, showing the interior of the Vatican Museum:

When I do a search on Fidelia or any other microstock site, I get huge numbers of hits, basically showing the same motifs, so why can they sell that "same" images from other photographers when they claim that mine are in conflict with the laws of protecting laments of Intellectual or Industrial property?

Hi all,
I've just started up at Istock, and I'm having a liitle difficulty understanding how the SUBS vs PAY-AS-YOU-GO only, works.

When viewing the portfolio, all images are marked with a small leve, stating thet "This file is awailable for pay-as-you-go only"

When viewing the upload list, I have all images marked as "Allow subscriptions"

Can any one enlighten me about the aparent contridiction in this?   

- And maybe even tell me how to actually make the images awailable for SUBS downlods? 

Thanks,

/ Flemming
