На микростокгруппе активно обсуждают вот такой "привет" от фотолии любителям всяких Колобков.
Суть сюжета: если вы продаете на сайте, где цены ниже фотолийных, то вам снизят ранг до белого.
Интересно: 123rf, canstock и depositphotos подпадают под этот список?
Цитата:
We hope you're enjoying Fotolia.com's new look and features. Customer
feedback has been amazing, and we will continue to release new
features for contributors, as well as improve search and interface
functionality for customers.
The release of this latest site isn't just cosmetic. It's just one of
the many things we're implementing to keep Fotolia competitive for
customers and contributors alike.
Over the last few months, we've seen new competitors offering pricing
and commission rates that are lower than our white ranking levels.
This is a threat to our business, for the market as whole, and for
you, our contributors. This is an issue that must be addressed for us
to remain competitive.
We have been obliged to modify our pricing and payment policies to
allow Fotolia to adjust prices/commissions on a case by case basis.
When a contributor sells on sites with significantly lower pricing and
commissions, we will reset their rank to white to allow for
competition.
Together, we'll work towards building a stronger stock photography
market, and continue to enhance Fotolia's reputation and
competitiveness as a leading microstock agency.
