Viable site to earn some bucks at?  Seems like they have a different thing going then many other stock sites.  Thoughts or experience?

Interesting, never heard of this site.  Seems like prices are better than some.

I know of a few younger folks that started out using it when it was just a mobile photography platform. I think it's more responsive to the needs/wants of photographers and buyers alike than other stock photo sites. Don't take that as gospel though.

Looks like a way for people to sell low quality cell phone images, if there are people who want to pay for those...

Couldn't find on their site who owned the company or where it was located, and had to look on their Facebook page to find out. Still don't see a name of even one person with the company, so I have to wonder who owns it and is making money off it.

I would not agree to Terms that state usage is royalty free and unlimited, with no limitations on duration of usage, etc.

I find the complete Terms unclear, and am not sure if it means what I think it means - but it sounds like if you license usage of your photos thru Twenty20 you may not be able to use/license them elsewhere. It says you may need to provide copies, you must keep records, and they may audit your records... then says if you licensed your photos elsewhere you'd have to pay Twenty20 for the audit and pay them for the additional usage or take down your photos. Doesn't say how much that would cost... 

I've never heard of anything like that in Terms to license usage of your own photos. No way would I use a site with Terms like that.

Oh good grief it gets worse... you can terminate any license by destroying the images, that can't be right --??? If you're considering this website you maybe better show the Terms to a lawyer first!


And, 500px is not a US company so I don't know if your copyright is protected there or not. Look at their Terms if you are considering that site as well, I wouldn't agree to their Terms.

You've got to look at Terms on any of these  photo sharing sites and know what you're getting into so you don't end up way underpaid or ripped off.
