General Stock Discussion / Re: how many images do "we" control« on: May 29, 2014, 12:17 »
I can definitely control my video files on Pond5 (including changing the price)
as opposite on Getty the only control I have is to end contract and get _all_ files deleted. all other agencies are somewhere in between 106

there is no way to remove a Credit Card from FAA by yourself
you need to contact their support (or close the account completely) And if you doing it in advance you loose some (paid already) benefits Their functionality needs some upgrade 111

General Stock Discussion / Re: Time for a new startup?« on: May 02, 2014, 09:54 »I don't think that is true. I'm always on the look out for some small but good selling agencies. They don't have to make an impact on the market to make an impact on my wallet.I don't know a way to check if small agency is good seller except uploading my work to many small agencies and watch them. Very time consuming and not effective so I tend to ignore them. 114

I don't think that Microstock landscape change can be made by some new start-up company starting from the bottom.
Some major player [like Google] entering the market and changing rules/concept - can. So you need big money to invest and really fresh approach. the 90% to the contributor or allowing out-of-focus-over-filtered images will not make you a new Microstock place to go 115

is there a way to see who are the biggest contributors presented on the DPC and try to ask them if they aware?
will it be considered impolite? 116

General Macrostock / Re: Getty lawyers back down with TV story on their tactics« on: February 18, 2014, 11:47 »
My personal experience is:
Getty is not going after RF infringements, after RM infringements in Blogs/social media, after infringement in countries different from US and few others They are going only after very straight forward cases promising big $. Think their costs & benefits 122

The most of POD services dont really care about copyright. Because ignoring the issue bring them content and money. And their business can run in cheap automatic mode. They assume that contributors submit only their own copyright work. And they even take any work down if you send them DMCA notice.
Thats why all POD sites are crammed with tons of badly traced copies of Somebody Else's intellectual properties. It is not feasible for individual artist to pursue all copyright infringements on POD sites using DMCA notice mechanism. And if the thieves are not from US you cant get them any other way 125
