I just got this email:

"Your portfolio has been successfully removed from our partner sites.
Should you have any further questions or require any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us."

But, but.. anyway my portfolio is online Shotshop and Ibudgetphoto.. somebody is lying..

Exactly the same. Yesterday I sent an ultimatum to DP and today got exactly the same message but my images are still at ShotShop and Ibugetphot...

Thats because DP calls them "resellers" and not partners...

The only thing that really help with DP is deactivate your files and of course never upload again!

This reply is BS! I've just checked on a fresh computer that never accessed ShotShop before and my arround 1000 images are there available for purchasing!

Have you checked if your images are available for purchase when you click on the thumbnails?

Can anyone verify they their "deactivated" images are still available for purchase on Shotshop? That may be the only way now to eliminate this BS short of getting an attorney.

I check it out about week ago, I eliminated one image and it was right away not available for purchase!

In my case, the images I have deactivated are not available for purchase from the moment I deactivated them.

The thumbnails of the images I deactivated about a week ago are still showing, but they are not available for purchase. The thumbnails of the images I deactivated about two weeks ago have recently disappeared and cannot be found at Shotshop anymore.

Then I guess that is the campaign for most of us. Simply deactivate if you can afford to do without the revenue from DP. Our emails to them don't seem to do a thing, so hit them where it hurts, just take all images.  Unless I see my images unavailable on partner/reseller sites by Saturday, I will spend the day deactivating my 3000 images. fk em.

I am not sure but I can not find any of my images on ShotShop anymore. When I did the original search, I remember it wasn't too easy to find mine. But now I tried with several searches for specific images and could find none of them.

So it might be that at least my images were removed from Deposit's API interface...

My files were gone from Shotshop before DP even replied to my email. I GUESS they were removed by Shotshop. Somebody on the german forum was told by Shotshop that they found a way to identify duplicate files... So if you contruibute to Shotshop yourself, the DP files should be gone.

However my files are still available at Ibudget.

Ok, they have actually removed my portfolio from shotshop. Good.

Still not sure if I'll continue to contribute to DP. Probably will just leave files that I have there, but not upload new stuff. Dunno.

What do you think, is it a good idea to offer images direct for ShotShop?

Good idea in what way? That agency was quite happy to pay another a subscription and then offer the file at a high price - what does that say about their business ethics?

I'd think it was an accident waiting to happen - you don't know how they might s*rew you in the future, but the odds are pretty high that they will if they can.

They are not interested in microstock images. :rofl:

Luis posted their reply when he inquired about contributing:

Hi Luis Santos,

thanks for your interest contributing images at shotshop.com. please let me explain that we are mainly focussed on the german speaking markets with more selected images and even higher prices than the usual microstocks. It doens't make sense for us to display the same images like the subscription stocks. I am sorry and hope for your understanding.

good luck and
best regards
Stephan Krmer


So, yeah.

Interesting. I sent them a nasty gram this morning .....my second one....and a few hours later my pics are off shotshop. Now I need to check the other partners.  Doing that in the next half day.

We must be diligent. How will DP attempt to screw us next? Something we need to watch out for.

Mine too. Upon your post I've rechecked and they are out. I will check periodically, you know,  just in case the show up again...

Right. Mysteriously. Accidentally on purpose.
