On June 1st, Shutterstock unveiled a new royalty structure that infuriated photographers, sparked widespread criticism, and even inspired an online petition with over 7,500 signatures. On that same day, Dreamstime increased royalties by 10% to support their contributors during this difficult time.
Stock photo service Dreamstime announced today that it has been selected as a "beta provider of stock photos for Google display ads." Through the agreement, Dreamstime contributors are initially paid roughly $2 per image for use in Google's ad network. Some photographers aren't too happy about the terms of the new arrangement.
