Someone correct me if I'm wrong:
It sounds like this new arrangement does not affect those who are already opted in for subs and it does not (in theory) affect overall earnings for people like me who almost never get ELs anyway.
Is that accurate?
I believe you are right, the changes will have little or no effect on vectorists who get few ELs (I get about 1 per month).
Also, looking at Photo.com it seems that they are not much interested in selling eps files. They are photo-oriented, as their name suggests. And I believe I read in a post early in this controversy that StockXpert vectors will NOT be sold on Photo.com at the low prices charged for small sized photos.
