Title: Stolen portfolio?
Post by: increasingdifficulty on March 08, 2020, 04:53
I don't know for sure (yet), but I randomly came across this portfolio:

https://stock.adobe.com/search?creator_id=207271937

and it seems quite suspicious. Extremely bad descriptions "very nice...", downright inaccurate descriptions, a "too good to be true" portfolio variety, and lots of 720p footage (even timelapses that the original owner would probably never upload as 720p).

So, find any of your footage there?

I haven't reported it, so feel free to do so if you can confirm it is indeed a stolen portfolio.

EDIT:

The jumping shark is a BBC clip, most likely ripped from YouTube, probably like the rest of the footage.

Who approves this stuff? Sure, a lot of it could slip through, but a jumping great white in super slow motion? I would think most people would have seen this clip before, and even if that isn't the case with the particular reviewer, it should raise suspicion.

Yep, that's Planet Earth material. Come on, Adobe, step up your reviewing game! How do we report this even though we're not the copyright owner?
This thief might be infringing other people's material as well and it gives Adobe a bad rep.

Stolen portfolios make me sad.
Mainly for unrespectful author's copyright infrigment
and secondary because I never find one of my items there....

Not by me at least, so feel free to do so. Anyway, the more people reporting the better I would assume.
