Sales are frozen at 99,97$. Like always, just a coincidence
I just checked my balance in Deep Meta and it's the same since last time the balance was displayed on the site. In my user stats I noticed nothing was sold since december the 21st. Is it just me or did they stop to report sales from that day on?
I had a reported sale on 28th Dec and nothing since, but a friend has had one this year. I think credit sales will soon be as rare as 'real' ELs have been this past year.
I had a couple of credit sales in January.

Does it mean we won't know how much we earned in summary (balance) via Istock site?
I thought only stats will be switched off, not balance...
The balance can still be seen from Daily statistics, as well as the lattest downloads, I assume.
Nope, and nope.
Sue, I just saw my stats from Daily Statistic Page. See them here: http://www.istockphoto.com/user_stats.php?id

I just updated DM and saw that over a thousand images were purged. What does it mean?
The number is far exceeding those were rejected and deleted over the years. Does it mean some images are no longer downloadable from my port?

Actually, I have always been paid a little more than the balance in the past few months. The stats really do not reflect what one has sold. Getty is a very confusing place, I must say.

If commas are required between the keywords, what about our old images? Do we need to edit them or will Alamy implement the change?

Thanks, Sue!
I don't visit Alamy forum. Were there discussions about this matter?

A few new images were approved, but has Alamy implemented a new system?
In the past, when an image was approved, there was no comma to separate the keywords. This time, there are.
What happens? Do I delete the commas or leave them there?

I had two sales which were over 1000. Not so lucky this year.

It happens to me too. It actually is the yearly total.

Irina, thanks a lot! You have to request your payment, they don't have a fixed date.

60D, thank you so much! After you make the request, when do they pay?
I am just starting to sell video clips at Fotolia.
They usually pay within several days or week after your credit conversion made.

Jo Ann, Payoneer rep says the fee fluctuates around 3%. It will be more obvious if your transaction is bigger. It isn't just Payoneer that charges fees for USD transactions that occur across borders.
I encountered this larceny when on vacation in a country outside the US which uses the US dollar as its currency (Turks & Caicos). After returning I saw conversion fees and complained to the credit card company. They explained their rules; I said I'd never have used the card if I'd thought for even a second they'd charge me a currency fee for buying in the national currency of US dollars. They agreed to refund the fee as a goodwill gesture, which was better than nothing.
In reading about this afterwards, it appears that lots of folks hoping to avoid high fees and shops hoping to encourage shopping were doing a conversion into a USD price and then charging it to the US credit card. The credit card companies didn't want to lose their totally bogus currency conversion fee (a computer needs to make a calculation; at worst this should be a few cents per transaction for the expense of keeping currency data up to date) so they invented this even more insane rule about transactions in foreign countries regardless of currency.
These fees are total ripoffs, but they're widespread, not just Payoneer

Space, the Payoneer rep told me that, although Payoneer is in the US, the issuing bank is in Berlize, therefore, you cannot avoid Cross Border Fee even if you pay US$ in the US or elsewhere (except in Berlize?). Each time when you make a purchase, you will be either charged a currency conversion fee (a hidden transaction fee above prime of course) or a Cross Border Fee if the transaction is in US$. If you have a non-US dollar transaction, you will not notice the fee and assume it was part of the currency conversion. But if you pay in US$, you should be mindful of this. You've lost me slightly. Just to clarify... you have a US Payoneer card, with a US balance and you were attempting to buy something in US dollars... and they still charged you a fee, just because the company you're paying is not in the US.
And if this company had been charging in something other than US dollars, then you would have been charged this fee, as well as the currency conversion fee?
Currency conversion fee is understandable... that's just the way it works, and although it's a fee that relates to the transaction, it's not a 'transaction fee' per se. But a fee just for buying something from a different country... without any currency conversion, is a bit extreme. Never had that with the PayPal card.

but, objectively, is she going to get a billion?
how does she come to validate that these photos are worth a billion???
i am not even sure if you put Yuri, Lise G, SJLocke, Dolgachov,etc.. it would come to even
close to a million. how does the donated images account for a billion???
It's in the article:
While the statutory damage liability for Getty in this case is $468,875,000, PDNPulse reports that Highsmith is seeking $1 billion based on the precedent of photographer Daniel Morels lawsuit against Getty, in which he was awarded $1.2 million for the widespread infringement of one photo.
You don't just sue for an exact value of the images, you sue for infringement and illegal behavior.
Right. It's called punitive damages, on top of specific and actual damages.

According to Payoneer FAQ, it does not charge any transaction fees when a card holder makes a purchase.
However, the amount of a recent purchase is higher than the US$ amount I authorized.
Today, a Payoneer agent explained to me, if I make a purchase in US dollars, an extra fluctuating percentage will be added on top of the purchase amount. It is called "Cross Boarder Fee" because the bank is located in Berlize. If the transaction occurs in a different currency, Payoneer will charge "currency conversion fee".
No transaction fee is a deceit.

Has anyone heard anything back? I submitted the form, and have not heard anything since.

Why not? I am willing to make some clips exclusive to see how it works. They did not ask for artist exclusivity, some of my clips are only available on P5 anyway. I did access the form. I'm interested, why do you make some clips exclusive?
I do have access to the form, Google Docs. They send me the link in an email, exposing 75 email addresses from other contributors in the CC... They don't know their cc from the bcc.

I will make some of my contents exclusive. But I don't have the permission to access the Invite to Edit link.
Can anyone open the page?
