Display size limit gone?

(1/2) > >>

spc:
Microstock agencies used to have a maximum resolution allowed for digital uses of standard license images (800px long edge or something like that). Is this restriction gone? I couldn't find it in shutterstock's license terms.

I just found one of my photos uploaded at full resolution on a blog. I couldn't find anything in the license terms except for this: "not for resale, download, distribution, or any commercial use of any kind". The owner of that blog is clearly breaking this rule by allowing anyone to download my photo.

Can anyone explain exactly what the restrictions for this type of use (photos displayed on a website, blog, etc.) are?

There are no restrictions that I'm aware of. They can use your image on a billboard if they like. The blogger is not purposely giving your image away or reselling it. If someone steals it from the blog, that's what they're doing...stealing.

There used to be restrictions and I think many agencies still have them. But from what i remember most increased them when the average monitor size went up and 4k monitors came around.

I donīt know what the agencies have as limits these days.

PhotoBomb:
They removed the size restriction but the 'Download' part is the issue. The fact that one can download a copy in full res is not allowed (see below). Somebody grabbing a screen image is also not permitted but is stealing and a different issue..

Someone downloading it is clearly not allowed (but also impossible to stop). I was asking if the buyer is allowed to upload it at full size.

So it's allowed unless the title is "free high-res image"?
I can still see a problem here
