Shutterstock submitters are not very happy with the new taxation system that the stock agency is trying to implement. To much bureaucracy, useless paperwork, time and money waste or maybe just the right thing?

What do you think?

I am not happy with this. I ask myself why is Shutterstock the only agency that requires this stupid system of taxation? I really hope other stock sites will not do the same. The thing I find most bothering is that I have to send all this personal information (like passport details, etc) to a different county, to people I don't know... I don't think I will do that.

I see the online petiton has only 342 signature by now. Are the rest (thousands) of SS photographers ok with this tax thing?

I looked at the number of images that appears on the homepage of shutterstock.com:

30 May 2009, around 11.00: 7,072,886 stock photos

30 May 2009, around 14.30: 7,071,431 stock photos

30 May 2009, around 20.50: 7,070,877 stock photos

Anyone noticed a pattern here?

Well, the numbers are up again: 7,110,857 (2.06), which is good. I was afraid people are really deleting their photos from SS.
