My last credit sales at DT are smaller than subscription sales. For example, in few days I have:

4 sub sales and 6 credit sales.
Sub sales are worth $0,35 - $0,7.
At the same time, I had:
1 credit sale for $0,11
2 credit sales for $0,2 each
1 credit sale for $0,28
Even one credit sale worth 3 credits was only $0,55

I have nothing against real new members tho..

I think Air Tran is just bought today from SouthWest, right?

I don't know why so many people have to make a new account to say what they really think...  Are they afraid that someone will punish them because they say something bad about Istock or what??
So many new members and "new members" here.

Since you guys are mostly in photos/illustrations, I will keep it short.

After deleting my audios from IS I decided to contact several audio libraries, and I was quite shocked how they all hate Istock/Getty. No one had nice words for them. And not only that. The comments were describing Istock management with words like "idiots", "very bad for artists", "people who are destroying this business"etc. These words are not mine. They are quoted directly from emails I received from contact persons who work on other sites.

Istock is reducing prices of audio in general.

How would that be different from the complaints macro agencies made and make about micros?

Yes, I forgot to compare those two. It's similar thing, but not exactly the same, since Istock prices for RF audio are about two times lower than prices for RF audio files at other music libraries.
So, It's not another category (like RM photos and RF photos). It's the same category of product, just twice cheaper. It would be like if some agency would lower their prices for RF photos to 50%, and pay their contributors 15% of that.

Istock is reducing prices of audio in general. They are one of the cheapest audio libraries on internet, yet they pay their non-exclusive contributors 15%, while other libraries have 50/50, or in worst case 60-40 deal. Plus, Istock doesn't allow their artists to join PRO and receive performance royalties, while artists who submit their files to other libraries regularly receive money whenever their music is played.
So, please tell me, what could be worse for artists?

Getty/Istock obviously destroys, not only photography business, but music business too, and artists are suckers to support such company.

I also see only Mercedes Benz add.

Thanks guys. I had o put the subject in the center of the photo, because only there camera could make a focus

You can see why they choose to rob us in cyberspace rather than mug old ladies in the street; my old gran would've dropped every single one of them!

Lol, I don't want to sound rude, but at least they could hire some real photographer to make nicer photographs,  

To be honest, after deleting all my audios from IS and canceling my exclusivity, I thought, what .... I will upload all my audios to other sites and sell them under RF license. Why would I have a respect for the contract I signed with them if they are screwing me, and the contract. But I decided to wait those 30 days, because I don't want to think about myself the same thing I think about them.

My friend from my creative network just sent me a message that he is canceling his account. It's Ralf from Germany. He is not exclusive and he has over 1200 files.
