I'm getting a bit frustrated with the new property release policy of SXP.
I've submitted a cityscape of the city of Luzern, in Switzerland. I'm asked to upload a property release. Now, seriously, does anyone in the whole world have a document signed by all the owners of a building in a city?
Also, I've submitted an image of a barn, and I was asked to send a property release. The barn is absolutely generic and there's nothing more than the surrounding mountains to identify it. I understand it to some point, but shouldn't it be a rule of thumb as to what is reasonable or not when buildings of some kind are on a photo?
I'm not sure if I should give myself to the trouble of discussing it with the approval team or simply not submit any photos with buildings.
I can feel your pain, I have been through the exact same non-sense rejections! So I stopped submitting anything with even a wall on it.
On their forum there is even a guy complaining that they were asking for a PR for a pictures of a stack of towels with a generic wall in the background!
They also considered the serial number on a dollar bill a copyrighted property and demanded me to delete it. They are somewhat irrational at some point. Also I hate the 30 cents downloads I am getting from them. I am considering opting out of those.
use the contact form and write, I wrote many times and got finally today some pictures reviewed and accepted but I had to reupload them. I think that IS, DR, SX are very sticky about releases. Who's the next ?
