"Professional" site using all stolen watermarked images
Yay Images Billionaire:
This "Professional" career advice site is using all stolen watermarked images. Some of mine there, check to see if any of yours are. All SS.

lol, don't worry about it.
a) It's probably a placeholder. ANY professional (real) site would not get business if they had 'shutterstock' all watermarked over it.
b) If they ARE a real site trying to get busienss, they probably don't have the money anyways to pay for it - and it is advertising for you.
c) Also - asfaik, they aren't "stolen" either. Pretty much every stock site lets you download preview/watermarked images/video/etc.

They're using the images. Watermark or no, they're stolen.
Placeholders should not show up on a live site.

But that doesn't mean you can use them on a public websites. They should be used to review the content or in mockups for clients... not live websites.

Exactly. Once the site goes live, they are infringing copyrights.
