Title: image rejected by DT found on Spiderpic as licensed by DT
Post by: rosta on October 17, 2011, 19:35

By chance I happened across an image of mine on Spiderpic.  The info provided credits me as the photographer and dreamstime as holding the license.  Normally I wouldn't be too bothered by an image being on a "partner" site except this image had been rejected by DT, and was not part of my portfolio there. Iin fact I had since placed it elsewhere as a RM since it appeared not to be to DT's or IS's  taste.
I have written to DT to have the image removed.  Anyone else find REJECTED images on partner sites. Ii have never allowed rejected images on any site to be used for free or sold elsewhere.

Rosta, check that it isn't in the free section.  There is a tick box to donate to free if it's not approved.  Maybe it went there by accident?

Spiderpic is not a partner site, it is a "Price-comparison search engine for Stock Photography" - that's what it says on their website. As they seem to just search the different MS sites to find the same pic on different sites, your picture must be available on DT. I would assume the same as Pixart, might be in their free section...

What agency does the file numbering match with?

How about a link? That would help identify it.
