MicroStock Contracts, Agreements and Terms of Use comparison

At Cutcaster, we have been working on an improved Royalty Free Contract and have done some of our own research on what the different competitor sites' agreements look like. We always want to improve and will listen to anyones' suggestions. With the help of J. Gracey Stinson over on TalkMicro we researched and collected all the different terms and agreements on competing microstock and stock footage/photo content sites. Here is a list below with the links. When you get a second check out Gracey's website as well.
