iStock Photography

Anyone familiar with the iStock system? I understand the fundamentals like receiving a portion of what you sell, but are there downsides to them?

Im wondering about ownership and what not. If i apply a photo to iStock.com, do they now own the rights to my photo/logo/design/illustration/ect.?

Also, they boast about trying to make you contribute and earn a lot of money but can this be true? For example, once you sell a photo, do you now need to replace your stock -- put up another photo to sell in place of that one? Im assuming 2 companies can purchase the same photo for their use, but im unsure.

Im just worried about writing off my rights to my work and getting into something im not fully understanding.
