Everything in there is duplicated.  Maybe he doesn't understand the meaning of the word?

I don't see the problem. 'Exclusive' means he has the exclusive right to upload his files wherever he wishes, right? 

Based on the SS file numbers, this isn't someone who is in the midst of dropping exclusivity -- at least some of those files have been up there quite a while.

I suspect, however, that frender won't be an exclusive contributor much longer. 

Makes you wonder how many are playing this game for percentages?

Just a little honest mistake in the translation. 

He said that December was his WORST MONTH OF ALL TIME on iStock.

All the images (also the others ones) are not identical. It's the very same motive but it's a different image - see the shadows below the circle, in the other images the other keys on the keyboard have a different name, the fringe on the price tag is different.

Also, "mstanley" has different (and more) images than frender.

If you ask me, I'd rather assume that "mstanley" is a copycat.

They're both from Turkey. My guess is same person, making slight changes to his own images.

Copycat uploads the copies before the originals?
Copycat that can predict the future?
"original" uploaded on 09-23-14 to Istock as Exclusive � "frender": http://www.istockphoto.com/photo/global-shipping-48206804
"copycat" uploaded much earlier to Fotolia � "mstanley13": http://en.fotolia.com/id/64234894

Okay, that is correct. Then again, there is another image with the same model: http://www.istockphoto.com/photo/global-shipping-38078930?st=86288d1 - uploaded in April 2014 which is about the same time as the Fotolia image.

Interesting... so it could be two people co-operating by exchanging their render models, make adaptations and upload them to different accounts. Anyways, it's not a simple "exclusive at iStock, same images elsewhere" thing. As far as I can see it is quite common in the 3D world to exchange models and adapt them. Almost any of them is using those white (or orange) men, right? So... who knows, it might actually be legal to do that...

you are very boring people.

Istock remains between 85% and 55% of photographers money.

  This large percentage is to pay INSPECTORS to control exclusivity among other things besides eating oysters and light cigars with money.

Do not be so foolish as to make them work for free. Those photos are clich� millions across the image banks.

Although I don't think the folks here are boring, I have to agree that agencies need to earn their huge commissions by doing their part...again another time they are not living up to their end.

We surely are not boring! Maybe a little curt at times by telling the truth even if it hurts.   As for inspectors making big money- NOT! Personally, I have a few as friends and they make from $30,000 to $45,000 year and review 2,000 images a day to include long hours and weekends.  They probably could make more working at Wal-mart with those 60 plus hours per week.

...being paid pennies as a keymaster.

there will be a reckoning at some point but not gonna waste any sympathy on either party.

www.istockphoto.com/profile/frender no longer exists, so I'd say the reckoning has occurred.
