Aryeo Property Websites Yank Matterport: Zillow versus CoStar (Matterport) DanSmigrod 5 15 daysDanSmigrod (32357): https://youtu.be/focxgM-4OR0?si=5EIzyX0Iob35jW6XVideo: Zillow Just Dropped Matterport Tours — What It Means for Photographers | Video courtesy of Cole Connor YouTube Channel | 2 November 2025
CoStar: "CoStar Sues Zillow For Rampant Copyright Infringement" DanSmigrod 2 4 monthsDigitalReplica3D (263): Interesting to find that Zillow is a repeat offender and had to pay out millions to VHT Studios. That sets a precedence. Matterport bought out VHT a year or so ago before CoStar has now taken over both. I know VHT Studios was eliminated by CoStar. Unsure if CoStar hired VHT’s employees. Anyone with details?
CNN: "Biggest shakeup in a century set to hit real estate agents this week" DanSmigrod 2 1 yearMeidansha (946): Looking at it from the way it is in Japan with both the buying agent and the selling agent getting 3% each, There is less incentive for the selling agent to promote the home. The 6% model where the buying agent and the selling agent and the buying agent split the comission is a much better model for selling houses in my opinion. It incentivises the selling agent to promote the home much more to give them a higher point to bargain from if a...
Another Patent Infringement Notice - Tour Technology software Jake 8 1 yearGlennTremain (3087): @Jake the best thing is to have your client seek legal counsel for them to advise or to send your findings but be sure to include in the email "I'm not an attorney and not giving legal advise but just my observations" I have been doing all facets of webstuff for 30 years and "getty images extortion" was a thing and it took the world community to take them down but they spurred a bunch of fake little guys hoping their...

Former Matterport CEO Wins $79 Million in Lawsuit Amid CoStar Acquisition AI_DanSmigrod 24 1 yearDanSmigrod (32357): @Sdoughtie ChatGPT-4o is crazy-exciting. I use it EVERYDAY both professionally and personally. The $20/month account allows me to create GPTs. For example, I have one GPT for creating YouTube video tags in comma delimiter format. I could do that without a GPT, but I have to type more :cool: Now all I do is attached the transcript of WGAN-TV Podcast episodes and say, Tags please. Best, Dan

Nathan Cool: NAR Judgement a Threat or Opportunity for RE Photographers? DanSmigrod 4 2 yearsDanSmigrod (32357): FS Stoppers (16 November 2023) Some Real Estate Photographers Might Be Out of a Job Soon Hi All, Personally, I disagree. The author says fewer buying agents = fewer real estate photography shoots. The listing agent is the buyer of real estate photography: not the buyer real estate agent. Fewer buyer real estate agents likely = MORE real estate photography shoots AND more Add Ons such as: 3D/360 tour; floor plans, drone (and more). Your...

Spotted New Matterport PRO3 Camera Pictures ThinkLab 11 4 yearskwreece (88): As a company they will learn quickly enough that not delivering the growth and profit promised to the investing community will have a very short lifespan. Then changes will be made rather quickly I would imagine. All the more so when they hear that the company is/has lost the faith of its user base.

Matterport ToS Changes Regarding Moral Rights: Who owns the IP? DanSmigrod 5 4 yearsShakoure (568): Not surprised. Looks like they'll keep pushing the envelope until someone sues with a class action lawsuit. But since greed isn't illegal, they'll probably find safe haven in some commercial statute that exceptionalizes copyright.

Many appear to be from investment firms, I wonder if they had their clients money in play and if there were any other complaints on these issues. I bet discussion in forums about "promised leads" also factor in showing that Matterport knew of this issue and did nothing. I bet some Attorneys have full email boxes tomorrow morning.
