Hi! I recently had sale of my footage via subscription , i received .1.8 from m download , i always had opted out subscription on footage. After i saw this sale i went to menu to check if its opted out but the option disappeared , i messaged fotolia and they replayed :
On July 8 we sent out a notification informing contributors that, while Video files are not included in our standard subscription plans, videos can from now on be made available for download in corporate subscriptions for high volume customers.

here the text of the notification that was sent out:


Fotolia - Some news about our video offer


Dear video contributors,
Because of a strong demand for videos from high-volume customers, we are going to offer some video subscriptions on a case-by-case basis for such customers. Payout will be 35% with minimum prices of �37.50 for HD 1080 and �18.75 for M size.
We will remove the current ability to download M videos at the cost of 5 downloads on our regular monthly subscriptions. Of course, customers with existing subscription plans will continue to have access to videos until these plans expire, but in time these downloads will disappear.
We are certain that these changes will help increase sales and commissions, both in quantity and value.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Fotolia Team U.K.



This is just ridiculous , i think
