I propose the establishment of union stock contributors. ( Stock Syndicate )

With the following requirements :

1. minimum 50 percent on  sales paid to contributors

2. Price structure  similar price structure at Istockphoto .

3. Stop of sales by the system of subscription ( Shutterstock mode )


sorry for my english  :-)

What you think if some buyer can buy your images in 10 Subscription sites for 0.25$ ,that same buyer is idiot and pay you 20 $ for one photo .

Think about this .lol

All microstock sites now offer images in full resolution for 0.25-0.30$  .

Good luck for all of you.
And see what i write like joke in this topic.
