Title: Adobe & Artpostergallery.ru
Post by: Grom1985 on May 11, 2023, 15:55

I found to my surprise that Adobe Stock' images are now available on Russian print-on-demand site Artpostergallery.ru

For example, Wirestock' portfolio on Artpostergallery:
https://artpostergallery.ru/search?&store=adobe&c=0&a=0&selected_category=0&author=208428317#cf

How does this site pays for using our images? I know that due to sanctions Adobe suspended all new sales in Russia.

I've sent an email to the support team of Wirestock. Very concerning, especially when I got message like this
"I just wanted to inform you that all your content has been excluded from the Extra Channels correctly now, and you should not receive any more sales from there. We apologize for the inconvenience.

My catalog is also there.  I would like it removed.  I do not use Wirestock.

All Adobe Stock content is shown there - if you check the box marked Adobe Stock. My images are too, but I don't think individual contributors have any control over Adobe API customers - there's no opt out. And you can't issue take-down notices as they have a license to use these images.

This site is using the Adobe API. We get paid when they sell an image. But how does this site pays for using our images? Adobe stopped all new sales in Russia.
