You copied my images and offered them for free. I would NEVER work with you. EVER. Now take the rest of your copies down. And don't ask us to go through your library to figure it out...do it yourself. Just search your site, then do the same search on Shutterstock, iStock, etc. You'll be deactivating almost everything.

Is there any way leaf can combine all the freepik threads? There's a lot of information being lost in the mess I think.

Freepik seems to just use existing stock to create cheap rip-offs. Nice business model.

If you feel like it, you should also check out one of his other sites, flaticon.com. It looks like they probably rip off icon sets and split them up and do mashups, then offer them for free. They also give away twitter, facebook, etc. icons.

Although I see a lot of similarities, this kind of graphics is always prone to copycatting, ripoffs and stealing. Because it's hardly original or special to begin with. The same goes for minimalistic and simple icon sets. Sooner or later, all icon sets start to look alike.
