From time to time (4 occurrences in 3 months) I had the same photo selling twice in the same day on Dreamstime. I do not complain  , but I would like to understand this phenomena  .

I started uploading photos to Dreamsted 3 month ago and have a limited number of sales on it (40 sales for 300 uploaded photos). So, I don�t think it can be two customers buying the same photos on the same day.

Did you had the same kind of behavior on Dreamstime and do you have a rational explanation on these duplicate sates? Is it mistakes from customers, mistake from Dreamstime or a "gift" from Dreamstime ?

In my case the event toke place in Asia (Bhutan) and I am European (France).

Even if Shutterstock is in the US, I am not sure the US constitution would apply.
I presume the festival organization could submit a complaint in Bhutan or France?

In fact, I don�t know what law apply when parties from 3 different countries are involve in a photo complaint for copyright, right to privacy, etc.

I submitted a few editorial photos from a traditional festival in Bhutan. Theses were rejected by Shutterstock with the motive: "Press Credentials -- This image was taken at an event requiring press credential".
I am surprise because others sites accepted my photos and previous photos of the same event I sent to Shutterstock 2 months ago were approved by Shutterstock. And, from my point of view there is no need to have a press card to take picture in this kind of festival.
Is it a new policy from Shutterstock or did I get my photos reviewed by a bad mood reviewer?
Did anyone experienced the same kind of reject and did you find any solution to get your photos accepted (other than giving a press credential)?

If DT pays me $0.35, DT probably need to make at least $0.70 from the customer (much more if you look at iStock).

With a customer fee per image of less than $0.24, this would mean customers use less than 30% of their full quota 
Look as if subscription is not such a big deal for the customers.
