Yeah such BS and people are pissed....my opinion is this may be the end of PB as who can afford $400 a year for this. Tons of Amazon and Ebay sellers now have pictures that do not work.
I did sign the petition; not sure it will help: https://www.change.org/p/photobucket...ird-party-rule
On the good note my image is still there, but I received the email yesterday from PB, so maybe it is just a matter of time before they apply it.
