SS Security Issues with images
stockyme:
Yes you heard that correct, here we are working day and night for years to produce stock photos and shutterstock security is so week that you can download the image on this website by giving original image URL: shutterdowner dot kom
Is there any way to stop this nonsense?
Justanotherphotographer:
This has come up many, many times. SS seems to not care about closing these loopholes.

But this is definitely costing us photographer a lot. People familiar with these sites don't bother buying the images because 100px image is more than enough for them to use on website or even in printing
Semmick Photo:
the 1000px can be downloaded very quick and simple without watermarks, because SS adds the personalised watermark only when the preview image is viewed. So the unprotected previews sit on a server and people just download those previews. And there must be a super simple way to protect these previews from being downloaded
Brasilnut:
I just tried it with one of my images and it works.
Although it's a small resolution file (1000px) it's still worrying.
It's like wack-a-mole...these sites just keep popping up after getting shut down.
