I wonder if they are a partner of a partner perhaps? 
DP sends to Shotshop.  Shotshop sends to _______________.

And... if you click on thumbnail you are moved to DP site and you can buy that image... upsss, something is not clear here,... someone is dishonest here...

Btw. Tomorrow I'll reach my $50 and I'm away, far, far away from them!  :-\  >:(

So it's either complete ignorance on the part of DP, not even knowing who their partners are, or they're blatantly lying to us.

Wonderful.

Well, my images have been removed from Shotshop but they are still on photogenica. Others see the same?

I tested the deactivate and it is simple.  Might take me 2 hours and 12 beers....but.......

I can find my images on photogenica as well, but they are coming from Veer (they have a Veer watermark on them and the detail page says dirkr / Veer / Photogenica).

Don't worry, Sh*tshop has sent them to Veer for you, but you have to go to DP to collect your 30 cent royalties. (Yes, I'm just kidding around... .  (Hopefully.)

... These are the sites if you want to check for your photos: Samphotostock, Viewphotos.ru, stock.chroma.pl, dekorowalnia.pl, fototapetygdansk.pl, microfotos.com


I asked DP if this is partner site and here's the reply:

"I have checked the links you sent. Popscreen website (http://www.popscreen.com/... my image) uses your image illegally. We contacted with the website management and warn them regarding a copyright infringement. As for the second link (http://fototapetygdansk.pl... my image) the image is used with Stock Image watermark. The image was stolen from the istockphoto website (www.istockphoto.com) and the image is used illegally as well.
These wesites are not our partners."


You better check this sites out!


That site dekorowalnia.pl has my images with an author name I only use at DP. I also checked the image numbers. They are the exact same numbers as DP. It has to be some sort of partner.

It's getting more interesting...

Reply from Dekorowalnia:
"we use API Depositphotos.com, as well from Fotolia.pl if clients order. "

(I got reply in my Polish language and translated for you to english).


I don't know, laugh or cry...  ;D   ???   >:(  ;D

It is undoubtedly a partner or API user. DP is either lying about it or just clueless as to who is using their program. Either way, it's a major issue.

If you deactivate a file does it disappear from dekorawalnia (maybe after 48 hours)?

At least then you have direct proof they are using the deposit API link.

It is just crazy that we have to hunt after our images across the globe to see if they have an api link with deposit.

Very frustrating,especially because they are not sending admins to msg to clear things up.

I thought they would offer us a simple opt out button, the way dreamstime has one. Simple and professional.

I am sure they would still have enough content to spread around, not everybody will opt out.

That specific site seems to be a very professional outlet...  ;)

I wanted to check whether my images are there, got following message:

But FB site is alive... and many images from DP... Oh boy  ::)
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dekorowalniapl/425039087532467


Edit.
I just got newsletter email with info, that they (DP) started new afiliate program, and if I (re-seller) want to earn more money this way, I have to open new account... So... more of your images will be in the world... New ways, new accounts, new sites... Yupi? Lucky you?


DP what are you doing?!!  :o
I just got telephone from owner of dekorowalnia... He's asking me what to do, beacause he has problems with DP. He is their API seller, they forget that, they want some codes to prove it!  :o  DP API seller has to prove it to DP?!  :o He's honest man that want's to work clear and fair. He can't understand what's going on just like we can't...
Amazing! Congrats DP! Who has the control over images?  :-\

I've just read this topic with complete shock and I'm shocked. I will immediately tell them to opt me out from partner sites and api resellers, and very possibly delete my account from these frauds.

One more time...

DP:
"The websites you mentioned are not our re-sellers. They use our images along with images from another photostock illegally since the images are used with the watermarks. We will contact the website that use your images illegally and warn them regarding copyright infringement."

PopScreen Team:
"Yes, we are an affiliate/partner of most major stock agencies including Getty, iStock, Depositphotos, Shutterstock, etc. We help these agencies promote the photos they license to potential customers that visit our web site."


And it's after over 30 days when DP promised:
17 Feb.:
"I cannot tell you the exact time, it make take up to one month. Your portfolio will be removed from our partner programs and API re-seller sites as soon as possible. "

20 March:
"Your portfolio was removed from all partner programs."

I asked them to send me list of all partners and resellers... Waiting.

Snip..

Hope you share with us if you ever get DP to provide you with list of their partners/ resellers/ etc.

I for one am very interested where they have spread my content - and at what rates.  Also I want to be sure that all the files which I have deactivated from DP recently have been correctly taken down from all their partner sites ..

Suppose an Extended License gets sold through Shotshop, would we be getting $0,30 as well?

DP: "We don't disclose any information about our API re-sellers or partner sites."
