500px acquired by VCG, time to bail?
500px has been officially acquired by VCG and will now remove the option to upload photos under the creative commons licenses. VCG is kind of like the Getty Images of China which to me doesn't mean anything Good. Getty Images(along with Corbis) has been known to try to sue people for using public domain images just because they too added them to their archives. They have even been known to try to sue a photographer because she was using one of her photos on her own site(because they claimed they owned the copyright). China is also a no-go when it comes to copyright protection so I don't think you will get anything by leaving your images on 500px. I have already taken all my images down and I think other people should do the same.
