    I know this was asked before, but I thought I'd just refresh the topic.

    Any thought about split royalties on Pond5?

    You know, two producers worked on a clip, and each sale gets them 50% of the cut.

    So, if a clip is $50, Pond5 gets $25 (50%), and the producers both split $25 (50%), getting $12.50 each?

    Might be a nice addition.

    I would like that to happen here.

    would also work when artists share music, sound effect and footage into a new product. Good idea for both sharing between artists as well as out models.

    Just change the Paypal email account every other month and it will be very close to splitting.

    Not sure I understand how changing PP account could work. If an artist has several thousand clips and needs to share income on a small number of these with different people, changing PP does not help at all does it?

    A better idea is just have all payments sent to me and I will make sure that all parties get their fair share after deducting my processing fees. ;)

    Then you'd have a HUGE tax burden.

    This is already a feature on another stock site and it's popular.

    humm ... so ya mean it's easy to do? ;) Is it only open between just other artists or can it be shared with anyone who files out the federal tax papers with the agency?
