They don't have to be exclusive. You just need to be able to remove them in maximum 72 hours if you get such sale (image is removed automatically from Dreamstime).
Stuart, I'm waiting for mine too. Not everyone is receiving them, but everyone has a fair chance! posted in New feature: Order a Print
PS: on a different note, we see a strong interest for SR-EL licenses. Nov 2009 looks to have over 400% YoY growth compared to Nov 2008 for this type of licensing. We receive many requests from buyers asking contributors to enable SR-EL. Many of them don't contact us, so make sure you enable the SR-EL license on all files that you are able to. Unlike prints or p-els there is no pattern for what makes the average SR-EL subject wise. Anything can sell. posted in New feature: Order a Print
The program is still in a beginning phase so it's early calling it a success or not. It all depends on the expectations. This was never supposed to be a competing factor to our core model, but rather an additional vertical model.
As the potential print buyer is very different from our regular customer base, this needs time. At this point we're still studying the impact, the logistical capabilities and other factors, things which will determine its capabilities for the long term. posted in New feature: Order a Print
