iStockPhoto.com / Re: Istock changes model release policy???
« on: February 12, 2009, 20:27 »
it's quite annoying. first, all the sites accepted my MRs. then IS changed their policy and started to reject my uploads. ok, i thought i will use the IS' Mrs in future coz there's really a lot of information in it and everybody should be fine with it.
aaaand: today i got my first rejections on DT coz of the MR with the following reason:
The model release represents a written agreement between the model and the photographer, therefore it must be governed by the laws of the country/state where one of the parties reside, or by international laws.
The attached MR/PR is signed specifically for another agency, or it is not generic in terms of the laws that govern the agreement. The model release represents a written agreement between the model and the photographer, therefore it must be governed by the laws of the country/state where the parties reside, or by international laws. Please use our own model release document or a generic one in English.
i had no problems for about two month on DT with this IS MR. but now it doesn't seem to be right anymore... hmmmm...
imagine, every site wanted to get its own MR signed: "sorry, may you pls fill out and sign this MR for me? and this one, and then this, and this..... eeehm..... and if you aren't tired, yet, i'd have another 10 forms......."
now, for the next shooting i gonna try denis' MR. hope, this works for all the sites. or does anybody have other sugestions?
