For your information.
I am a film maker that has a Stock Footage Library, 35-mm filmed to HD and SD available.
Nature images and hard to film wildlife and Time Lapses are my specialty.
I read about the big merger between Corbis and thought equity.
Tought equity is now my agent, what will it mean to me as an artist?
I do not know if I will make any more on sales now or not.
With more eyes seeing my work it should help, on the other hand
The % will probably go down as it seams like a 3rd party sale.
Time will tell.
