I'm not that far into it yet. What is the price to be a member. A FB group I'm with some one is looking at a free trial period for the group. Pete

Jun 14, 2016 11:49 | #4 Permanent banOh my... I logged onto my account to see if there were info about pricing and found more false positives: now, I can understand lots of pictures of the moon to be suggested as being mine own, what with the moon being the same and all, but this:  Image hosted by forum (798599) © Alveric [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff. Are you trouting serious??? There's also something else on their FAQ that is discouraging: "Pixsy has identified that the likelihood of obtaining compensation from certain types of websites is extremely low. This includes known spam websites, hacked websites, non-commercial websites, and commercial websites that fit certain software-determined criteria. This does not mean that an infringement has not occured or that you will be unable to obtain compensatin. You are welcome to pursue the matter on your own or use our takedown feature to request removal of the photo." So what's the benefit of having the service then if it's gonna be a crapshoot? BTW, couldn't find any info about the paid version, they seem to have updated their site and their 'public' FAQ is very terse in terms of information. I'd steer clear of this one.
