I never use istock too much in the past, but personally I don't think I will use it anymore.
Just take pictures yourself if you need them. I know plenty of business guys in suits I can get to shake hands.

story focusing on the legalities:

"Given iStock’s size in the marketplace, I imagine there’ll be thousands of uploads. Wouldn’t that need a boat-load of copyright policing?
“We are placing the burden of checking for trademark-ability on the client.”
Oh. I see."

Yeah ukit, works for direct clients only, explain them why it is worth to spend on lasting design as much as you want to get, aim for a long collaboration.
- If you have to explain you pretty much know how that client relationship will go.Iggyboo
- not true, some just don't know what we do apart of shifting letters left and right, some become interested and appreciatejimbojones

Anyone got ideas for a way to help destroy the industry, or at least help push down profit margins a bit?

Bad for the reputation of our job.

I SAY NO!

no-spec.org this is a fucking another attempt to whiddle down what little craft is left to starve in this industry. You know this was presented to istock as a good idea from some vp who said you know we paid too much for our brand we shouldn't offer the lowest common denominator service out there.. Take your pick crowd sourcing and this are pathetic.

An all new low, this even beats out companies like 50dollarlogo
What a whorish idea. I hope it fails miserably.

ok obviously not but someone's got a helluva job now going through the vector libraries and figuring out what's an icon and what's a logo.
seriously how are they going to create a $695 divide between generic icon and a generic logo?

Their profits and stock (GettyImages) has been in free fall, stock fell about 75% before they were bought by an equity firm last year. So it's probably time to throw some shit at the wall and see what sticks...
