We hope they close the profile, as happened at Monster design

Another Mariie image newly approved

Strange how they group a few totally unrelated logo's in one bundle: imagine you want to buy Felix the Cat, you also get Star Wars, Hello Kitty, Superman and Studio Ghibli logos. What's the point?

They probably wont do anything unless Disney or whoever get in touch. AS is truly awful with this sort of thing.

Adobe accepts illustrative editorial, The problem is that they sell vectors not made by them but taken from other sites

example:

when the same things happen in Fiver and Etsy ,
it kinda makes you wonder maybe they're in on it themselves?
It's a quick money grab, the copyright owners have no idea where and who the user really is.
Especially considering Adobe's current "subscription" plans where
you can clearly see the reviews on Trustpilot calling Adobe Stock a Scam.

Never in the history of Adobe Stock did they have these reviews,
You can use webarchive.org to see, its since they started this subscription plan,
which does shady practices, promising a "free trial" but fines people for leaving,
recurrent charges on credit cards without permission.
How did that company lose their backbone and dignity is beyond me.

Yes I know, the issue isn’t the unreleased property/ people or trademarks. The issue is that these contributors are just stealing and licensing other people’s copyright work. For example a photo taken by me with unreleased logos and people is fine as editorial. Me downloading the photos from the Times news website front page and licensing them as editorial as if I own the copyright is not. That is what these people are doing.
