First of all the problems with all the content providers, who took an advantage of contacting us are resolved. Of course there was no intention to cheat anyone, or to save money, since we believe, that the last thing, that you can save money on is the content, and we are spending dozens of thousands of $$$ every month on shooting and purchasing the content from a lot of different providers, in attempt to keep the subscribers. However, the content providers must understand one simple things: The last thing the content provider should save money on, is the attorney.

I?ve checked today dozens of content licenses, and it appears, that most of them are written in EXACTLY the same words and sometimes even with the same typos J

Do you guys just copy the text of your licenses from other providers or what ?

Let me ask you something:

Take a look at those lines:

Up to twenty (20) images may be used at one time in a thumbnail post URL, so long as the Licensed Product remains hosted at the Licensee's site.
If the material is to be hosted at the Thumbnail post's URL, then up to ten (10) images may be used, providing that all images are clearly identified as being from the Licensee owned site, and a link to that site is provided.

How the hell, should we understand those lines, that I have just copied and pasted from the license of one of the content providers.
Most of you have those lines in your license text. Maybe it is not your intension, and you have meant something else, while saying this. But, you must also understand, that if you want your customers to keep your terms, those terms may not be ambiguous.

Anyway, we have no intention to argue with anyone, and we will remove the content if any of your will request it from us, ALTHOUGH your terms are ambiguous, but probably, if your terms were clear from the beginning, we could prevent all this situation, and save your nerves and our money, by purchasing the content from the provider, who?s license fits our needs or were changing the contract with you.

Please understand, we had no intention to cheat on anyone. It is just misunderstanding of your terms, that IMHO are too ambiguous.

So if anyone still have any question to us or would like to claim anything, is always welcome to contact us directly, and I don?t believe there is anyone here, who had ever attempted to contact us and was ignored.
