Etsy bestselling photographer reselling Shutterstock files-$1000 a day earnings!
Dakota:
I was shocked to find this shop called LILAxLOLA reselling tons of shutterstock files as downloadable digital files and making huge amounts of money, upto $1000 a day. (total $368,000!)

It's disgusting that this is allowed. It costs a lot of money to produce special photos for some lazy stay at home designer to resell for huge amounts of money.
Check your files are not on there, I noticed tons of Shutterstock files there. I emailed Etsy and they took my files down quickly.
Report the shop on the Etsy home page, bottom left where it says: "Report this shop to Etsy"
Also report to Shutterstock. This thief must be stopped!

Perhaps Shutterstock contributors could learn from this: you can make $1k a day on Etsy, so why bother with Shutterstock?
Zalee:
That's amazing that they could earn that sort of money on those images. Does anyone else here sell on etsy?
stockastic:
Those sales numbers are hard to believe. I wonder if they've been inflated by shil buyers.
travelstock:
In a case like this, the relevant artist shouldn't just contact Etsy, they should Seek the identity of the seller and seek damages for breach of contract & require an account of profits from them. This isn't just a DCMA situation - its a situation where Etsy has paid out royalties that should be due to the original copyright holder.
