Sorry, my mind is mush.
There's a lot of talk of Google having stripped out copyright and metadata.
Doesn't iStock strip this out as standard?
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I seem to have forgotten the definitive answer.
When I bought a couple of images via IS the CR information was corectly given in the Metas

Have you thought about the unintended consequence of social media sending thousands more people running to get the Free pro files?
I'm sure those who have been scammed don't want their files disseminated more than they are already.
Thats a valid point.

Me too.
I'm just affected by the Microsoft "Deal" - but who knows what kind of information we get next. I think there needs to be done something, otherwise it will get worse and worse and not only on IS.

Divorcing couples and corporate ****s communicate via their lawyers. Not people in relationships of mutual trust and empathy. The Getty Images Istockphoto current method of communicating, as demonstrated in the communication about refunds, is to state the policy and ignore any contradictions.
It is weird that a company which is all about image is so useless at dealing with its own image. They should read their own trends analysis which is always all about companies wanting to be more authentic, trustworthy and genuine. As if.
Hope you don't mind posting your words in the IS thread :-) - I'm not sure if they will stay up ...

I feel for those whose images have been used (esp 2.6 million downloads), Personally I would be deleting the images off istock to force them to stop. What gets me is a few weeks ago we had "We've been thinking for some time that we need to make changes to how we communicate to the contributor community at iStock." then there is the lawyer who comes along and says we're right, you're wrong, suck it up. Wonder what next months istock drama will be....
As far as I get it there is no way out to ever delete the image from MS - at least they tell us so. There are also pictures on this page of people who cancelled exclusivity some time ago. This is totally insane. They simply don't own the CR, they can't give away these sorts of "Rights".

Slight tangent, but I came upon this article from April about Calgary stock start ups and their fates (not just about iStock). Seems that merry-go-round keeps on...
Well written article which tells us unfortunately all about where the IS ship is heading. We always had a vision at Veer, says Hutchinson of the difference. I dont believe Corbis has ever truly had one.

Personally I think we shouldnt get divided about the question if someones included thats indipendent or not. Were sitting in the same boat. I trust Sean - and so would I do Lisa, Rob and some others (from what Ive read from them in the forums). The exclusives are surley better to nail to the NDA - simply because were at the moment dipendent from the IS income. But as someone else has already stated were maby just 30 days away from being independent.
