So far, my DMCA notices have been disregarded. Am I being too impatient (sent 2 days ago)? Or are they just unimpressed by a DMCA?

DMCA is a dog chasing it's tail. You send one notice and another step closer, but your tail moves to forward and a new place, and one step away from you. You can't ever catch them and when you do, nothing happens. There is no law or fee or penalty, they just step to a new place and you start over, chasing your tail.

DMCA for the people who don't have Google or a search. Or are too lazy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act

I don't understand, what do you write in DMCA message(on freestockhere website), please thieves remove this image it belongs to me??

The one I found seems to be the only one of that series I had on Depostiphotos, so my suspicion goes there..

Thanks. I've just sent them a notice about four images of mine that are still up (I notified Shutterstock when this was first raised and they've done nothing). I'll post here when the images are gone.

The agencies are totally useless if you can do in one day what they apparently can't in a week and a half...

I just checked and the four images of mine have been taken down. Less than 24 hours after I sent the e-mail.

I am all but certain that it was my e-mail that resulted in the removal versus Shutterstock's (non) efforts as I only reported two images to them and I ended up finding four; all four are gone.

my reply from shutterstock was "please provide us with any information you may have which makes you believe that a license to this image was purchased from Shutterstock (as opposed to another stock agency or source)".

really ??!!

after 10 days the DMCA notice sent to freestockhere did nothing ... the images are still up :|

Thanks I'll get mine removed. DMCA one by one we shouldn't have to do that and find them by ourself. Agency should see that it's a cover and stealing our work.

Weird that shutterstock don't care about it. Now there are 100s of agencies should we send emails to all? and at the end all will say give me proof if the images were download from there agency.

At least they don't allow a direct download. If you try to get a free picture, it goes to a registration page, and tries to sign you up for newsletters and ads.

Maybe you are not aware but the website they are affiliated to pay them great amount to promote such things. You get registered and the scammer gets money. I also wonder why they have watermark of fotolia in it, did they hacked into fotolia and downloaded their database?
