Alexander, can you travel to Colombia and get a Colombian ID? After our local elections you can start to have one in Ccuta.

It's a little difficult for me. I live in Caracas. If i live in Zulia or Tachira states, they are border states, i would be Immediate and reasonable option. I have a regular job that pay a crap salary per hours, i only can travel on weekends, if i travel to Cucuta Colombia or Brazil it should be on road by bus. Some airlines no longer provide services and those that are still tickets are very expensive. I use microstock in order to survive, getting some extra money, also  i have a relative in another country, who help me. Survive the economic difficulties in Venezuela. Inflation in Venezuela is the highest in the world. Venezuelans are fleeing to other countries, since it is difficult to live here.

Ordinary people are disposable for governments. It seems to have always been that way. Ordinary people are simple pawns that are sacrificed in their chess game.

My English are not that good
Does "your work will no longer be available to you" mean termination?
Deactivation could be negotiable with contributors
willing to collect royalties after this suspention end
and leave files up and selling as normal but no payouts.

https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Documents/13884.pdf

I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, in order
to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared
in Executive Order 13692 of March 8, 2015 (Blocking Property and Suspending Entry of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Venezuela),
as amended, as relied upon for additional steps taken in subsequent Executive
Orders, and in light of the continued usurpation of power by Nicolas Maduro
and persons affiliated with him, as well as human rights abuses, including
arbitrary or unlawful arrest and detention of Venezuelan citizens, interference
with freedom of expression, including for members of the media, and ongoing
attempts to undermine Interim President Juan Guaido and the Venezuelan
National Assemblys exercise of legitimate authority in Venezuela, hereby
order:



Speaking about human rights abuses, arbitrary and unlawful arrests and detention, etc, etc, he has no problems with the Saudi King and his government killing American residents, chopping and dissolving their bodies...  >:(

The Nicolas Maduro government is very ruthless with the opposition. Same as the government of former President Hugo Chavez. Something I don't understand is why apply sanctions to people who are not part of the  Nicolas Maduro government.

Salman is ruthless with his opposition, Erdogan is ruthless with his opposition, Putin is ruthless with his opposition.
Problem is that he is only invoking noble principles against Venezuela, while endorsing other dictators, autocrats and murderers. Hypocrisy and double standards.

He simply wants you to suffer even more and turn your anger against Maduro.
I agree in some aspects. But i live in Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro government have not done well, many controls to the population, and has killed some of the people who oppose past demonstrations and political prisoners, he is a kind of dictator.

VPN probably won't work because he still has to give paypal or bank account which are both revealing country where owner is from. But maybe is worth to try.

You are right, I misread the initial post.

It is feaking cruel to punish regular citizens for whatever their government is doing. It is absolutely inhumane.
I think the same. I am not a government official of Nicolas Maduro. I have no links with the Nicolas Maduro government. I am not their partner or supporter.

I'm Very sad ! :'( :'( :'(

Understandably - I wonder if there are any exceptions for sole proprietors? I thought sanctions were to be imposed on high level officials?

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/10/adobe-cancels-all-user-accounts-in-venezuela-to-comply-with-trump-order/

https://www.fastcompany.com/90414653/adobe-shuts-down-photoshop-in-venezuela-because-of-trumps-sanctions

Apparently Adobe's interpretation is broader than some other companies' - perhaps they'll change their view of what's needed to comply?

It is so in theory, but the sanctions extend beyond. Companies like Adobe restrict their use and sale of software to all Venezuelans, whether or not they are from the government. it must be because they have no way of knowing who belongs to the government of Nicolas Maduro and then restricts all Venezuelans so as not to have problems with the United States Government.

On the text.

After 2 years, with a port around 1800 pictures, I finally received my 100$... the day after the collection, I erased all my photos, one by one. Adios Dreamstime. I received a lot more money from my other 3 agencies ... I still have a balance of $ 1.05, I leave it to you Dreamstime, I think you need it more than me!

Congratulations!

Good month to me. I'm quite surprised with istock.

Define a "good month" please :)
S/he just said a good month for him/her.
It's all relative.

Second month there, about 25 USD. Should say "good" better than good.

Agencies as Adobe are dead for me after 10 months.

Last month i earn in just one photo sold in Adobe Stock 23,76 , everything is relative. I don't upload more to GI/IS due to the 15% rate it's very few.

Grossinger's port is improving and have to admire his work-ethic. He'll realise soon that quality beats quantity any-day...but he's on a mission so there's no stopping this guy!

Who is Grossinger ? i saw the link above, and that man is not humble, he believes he is a rock star. Ten thousands of image like he has, that an easy task for everyone, just snapshots.

On one of my latest sales reports, I received $0.00 for one of my images. What's up with that? Is IStock giving away some of our content for free?

I have two sell earnings $0.00 per download.



Were these from early on in ESP?

If so, these were tests, not actual sales.
If not, why not contact them to find out more?


Look at the attached image, this is awesome!
The $0 sales look like tests.
The mega-tiny sales are Connect, which is a sort of pay-per-view. In many cases we don't get paid, as they have to aggregate to 1c in a month, but I was astonished to see that a couple of months ago, I aggregated over $5 on one file (apparently).

Thank you very much for clarifying.
