Post by: Big Money on January 08, 2025, 08:18: My main concern is that they will not use my images on Shutter that are some of my best sellers but not on istock due to me not wanting them there or iStock's stupid model and property release requirements. If this is the case than I see at least a 20% drop in my sales income!

Because every time these so called stock agencies come up with some crazy assed nonsense they always throw "exciting news" in to the clearly detrimental news
