Same here.
Can not login, can not get password reset email, can not get any answer from Mostphotos (used every email they give for support - no luck).

Hi Matt,
Is there some way for us to get 1042-s for last 3 years from Fotolia/Adobe?

What will happen to our ranks?
You will retain your rank. The rank determines the royalties for Fotolia credit sales and the minimum payout for large subscription packs on Adobe Stock.
-Mat
Thank you. Fotolia credit sales will no longer exist after November 2019, right? Will we still retain our ranks after that for minimum payout determination of large subscription packs on Adobe Stock?

Thanks.
I've reported it to iStock.
Did they respond? This portfolio is still online, nothing deleted.

Does anyone know what's current subscription minimal royalty for non-exclusives?
It will be 0.02 USD, but what is it now?

Any proof?
I only see one person who is replying to every post there with the same "The owner messaged me with info they are in process of closing". Nothing more.
In the meanwhile page keeps posting links to pictures. Strange.
Do you have any link when it really looks like "THEY SAID"?
Thank you!

It seems buyers have received e-mails about Kozzi closing.
What makes you think this?

Is it the same hosting?
Looks like some other hosting and "site under constuction".

As I see, they deleted 3 images I used as examples in DMCA notice, but left hundreds my our other images on their site.
In the meanwhile I've got another complain from Turkish customer who bought image on Shutterstock some time ago and now is threatened by these people.

Good.
From our previous experience with this company - they tend to show their victims a lot of papers similar to one bagnaz adam attached here. I can easily imagine them showing fake papers too.
If they will try to show something that's pretending to be a "proof" of authorisation from photographers or other agencies, don't believe them and ask your lawyer or prosecution to contact photographers or agencies.
Two months ago I sent a warning about this company to all agencies I work with. So no agency would authorise this fraud.

Just a humble advice, if I may; try to shorten URL and post screenshots where possible. We've made a lot of free advertising for these guys already. As you know, negative advertisement is more precious as the positive one, these days.
I believe the opposite. People in Turkey are getting massive threats and money demands from these people. Posts of victims on Turkish forums getting deleted because forum admins also get threats. So more negative advertisement is made to this criminal activity - more victims in Turkey can be Google the information about this scam.

kudrt,
Did you also contact the police? I think it's a good case for economical police and also for newspapers.
These people should be punished.

bagnaz adam,
I would suggest you to contact Turkish Economical Police and also Turkish business media (newspapers).

I see they keep adding images to resimstock.com
So more photographers may be affected now.

I also issued the DMCA notice to the host.

It's a scam. Same company was acting similar way 2 months ago. We've got a lot of complains from Turkey. That's why we have a warning for Turkish customers on our website ( http://sydaproductions.com ) . Thanks for letting know these criminals are acting again, Robert.

Hey everyone! We've just announced some changes to our marketplace fee structure, as part of a new holistic approach that brings both author and buyer needs into better focus. Our goal is to create a really fantastic experience that benefits both buyers and authors in the long term.
As part of this update, our fees to non-exclusive authors are decreasing which means an increase in net author earnings. For a sale of an item with a list price of $100, a non-exclusive author will now have net earnings of $36 (for comparison, in our old fee structure, they would have received $33). We're working steadily towards a more competitive media offering for photos, footage, and other markets dominated by non-exclusive contributors.
The Become an Author page has a complete and more visual representation of this breakdown, with a fancy chart and slider 
You can read more about this change on our Market Blog:
As well as our commitment to strengthening our media markets as part of our 2014 Roadmap. Thanks!
envato webpage says: Non-Exclusive Authors Our author fee to non-exclusive authors is 55% of the item price. however, after your last change, on our earnings page we see "xx.xx % of the Item Price is the author fee we're currently charging you". with xx.xx number being HIGHER than 55. can you please comment on this?

yes, we had a problem with payment on Rodeo.
then we said we will take legal actions.
after that they paid us, but deleted our account there. AND LEFT PICTURES STILL AVAILABLE CUSTOMERS.
again, i told them we'll take legal actions.
then pictures were removed and our business relationship with them ended.
they had promising sales in 2006, but this ship started to sink once they decided they customers only need 100.000 images to choose from.

this voting system is ridiculous.
for example, someone recently asked "what do you see in 3 years from now"
well, i personally see 10x multiplied revenue in 3 years. but i didn't even bother to post it, coz i know in advance this positively-realistic expectation will gather negative votes.
and then i will not be able to fool myself with "i gave my answer because most of people here ARE NOT #%$#s".
of course, i still remember the way people treated Yuri here when he said he went exclusive, if i would need any reminder THEY REALLY ARE. but voting system works as a constant reminder anyway.
very, very unpleasant community.
most likely it's my last posting here.

because anger/professionalism ratio on this forum is fubar.
who would want to communicate here?
it's all about "stocks generally suck (well, SS probably maybe has some tiny little chance, but it's so dangerous), marketplace owners are greedy capitalists, flying helicopters abound empire state building while firing cigars with our hardly earned 100 usd bills, etc, etc, etc".
everyone who has different opinion on anything than "majority" has, gets witchhunted. this place sadly became very communist. i grew up in communist country, so i know what i say.
take a look at recent communications EmberMike got from this forum members. wow.
sad to say it, but i hardly believe any major market player is interested in communication here now. what's the point to speak with people who do not even care about TRYING to understand what they are reading.

I think you would get a PILE of hearts on here if you chose not to participate in DPC, but that's your call. DPC is a very destructive strategy to micro stock as a whole.
i'm not in this business for hearts, but for money. with 8 years of positive experience, we do trust major marketplaces we work with, regarding their marketing efforts. it's up to you or anyone else to be opted-in or opted-out. none of my business. i do not ask anyone to opt-in or opt-out. i'm asking you to get some understanding about people who leads the boycott. if someone is blindfolded by witch hunt now and sees no reason to check "alliance" background - it's ok. like i already said, don't pretend you were unwarned later.
