Unacceptable: No watermark and 1500x1500 images on VECTORSTOCK

(1/3) > >>

Morphart:
I just noticed that Vectorstock changed, they now offer a responsive website and show VERY LARGE images at 1500 x 1500 with a screenshot on my 4k screen. Also the image preview offer NO WATERMARK: see this image for example (not mine): https://www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/super-hero-bubble-tea-character-cartoon-vector-21279714 or preview: https://cdn5.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/97/14/super-hero-bubble-tea-character-cartoon-vector-21279714.jpg. First off for web anyone can steal this as 1500x1500 or 1000x1000 at high quality is more than sufficient. Secondly anyone with illustrator can convert it to vector in 3 clicks... Why would agencies do that? Am I the only one who thinks this is abusive?

I am seriously considering removing my portfolio from there.

Justanotherphotographer:
Really bad news, you are right that this is completely unacceptable. Contributors need to get in touch with them ASAP.

Malchev:
Unbelievable! I just saw it. (I don't know how I missed it for so long) I just wrote them an e-mail. If they don't plan to fix this I am closing my account with them.

I randomly clicked around. This image has watermarks.

Though I clicked around some more and all of the other images I looked at were without watermarks.

Thanks for the warning. I don't submit there and I'll make sure that I never do.
