Not sure I understand: on the1001th download of a hot selling image the customer buys a 1 year "time exclusive" license but has no knowledge of nor control over how the other thousand customers will use the image. And they're charging as much as $1000 / month? Makes RM exclusives sound like a steal!

Hi Larry. Not true.
Firstly exclusive images are on PI only and have little sales. Secondly we know what they are used for and where. Thirdly the max price is 300 USD per month, which makes RM for which you do not get the image for yourself and certainly not world wide and certainly not for 300 credits ....seem like a totally overprice alternative! Customers are responding well to this option. And are very pleased by the price. Some even think it is too cheap.
