Nah.  Theres no need for it.  No benefit.  Just an over complication.

127
Unfortunately we can no longer keep online images with Caucasian white people wearing American Indian attire (or any other type of native people). This is now considere cultural appropriation so images, even with children, need to be removed.

Watch out, anyone wearing sombreros!

128
Tweet loudly at Orringer on Twitter about it.

More idiocy from DT this morning.  25 rejections for images in this series:

Children wearing costumes.

I think that's because there is a difference between selling photos with commercial licenses (featuring people or buildings) and publishing a video for free on a platform like Youtube.
Stock agencies need more restrictions to cover themselves legally when licensing photos. Most of what is published on YT is free for all and considered "fair use". Youtube does take down videos that violate copyright laws.

Nailed it.

General Stock Discussion / Re: What constitutes derivative work?
« on: September 15, 2021, 12:04 »
Maybe were not understanding the question.  Do you have a client that you are working for who tells you to download an image and you isolate it and use it in a project for them?

Of course, uploading -anything- with -any part- of something copyrighted by some one else to a stock site is illegal.

132
Exactly.  Any image can be used inappropriately.  Theyre taking the lazy way out.  Instead of doing their job to police usage. 

133
Another 8 rejected.  How moronic.

134
Ok, how stupid is this?  This image (and a few others):
https://depositphotos.com/95429902/stock-photo-gymnast-cute-girl-balancing-on.html

Due to child protection laws and internet watchdogs rules we can no longer keep such images online as they are considered inappropriate or interpretable.
We are in the process of removing all such imagery from our online database.
Thank you for your understanding.

Sweeeeet.  That will help pay for my supply of pumpkin spice lattes.  Thanks!

The price of pumpkins in your area must be very expensive  8)

I'm a good tipper.

Or maybe a big eater or heavy drinker???  ::)

The joke was about Starbucks coffees.  Never mind.

You certainly made a good run at it.  Best of luck!

143
I suspect that most of us "regulars" on this forum will keep shooting with the camera gear we already have, because there's no longer any financial incentive to upgrade.

I'm still using the 70-200mm I bought in 2006.  Still amazing.

144
The images are starting to be selected as I type but no $$ yet- I assume they will continue with the process until tomorrow morning.

Yep, I see that.  Thanks.  Hope it's a lot more than that though.

Less than the first round :(

"contributors submit photo ideas. If the buyer likes them, they purchase them"

Shooting on spec is never a good idea.

But essentially, that's what Snapwire and others do: https://snapwire.co/

Deep down I knew it's gonna be like this, we'll probably have a few more waves of these small approvals till September and in the end it's not going to even come close to the amounts we were told we could reach. It's not a bad deal, but the max estimated amounts were quite bait-ish.

Yeah, I have to agree on that one.

148
Did they pay you already for the images that are accepted in the free collection?

I see there is a new button: "Filter by Price Tier", that shows the free images.

No payment yet.

149
Ouch, 74 out of 2500.

Thanks for the update!  Have a good holiday weekend :)
