Interesting questions and interesting answers. Thanks very much for posting.
Funny how Bruce nowadays insists that photographers should be paid a minimum of 50% royalty. He wasn't saying that in 2004 when I joined Istock. Back then he thought we should be grateful for the 20% that Istock paid to all contributors.

That was coming from a different perspective, having started as a free exchange platform, right?
And then again, while Bruce was there I don't remember iStock having cut any royalties, only risen over time, isn't it?

I'm not sure I remember being told I should be grateful, although that's certainly the impression you get nowadays for the 15%. I guess perspective changes over time, and with experience and knowledge.
Hey, I got a mention! lol...
