About 3 years ago I uploaded about 12 images to Dreamstime as exclusive photos (I have about 1400 unexclusive images there now) just to see if it was a better way to make money. I do not think any sold so that was the end of that experiment.
Today I get an email, kind of a scary one, from Dreamstime, that they discovered one of the exclusive images on 3 other sites. I use about 12 sites.
I immediately removed the exclusivity from all 12 of the Dreamstime images. And then went to each site, found the image, and deleted it. As far as I could tell the image generated no sales anywhere.
I wrote back to Dreamstime about what I had done. And am waiting for a response.
Do you think Dreamstime will be ok with what I have done or will they get nasty about it?
I will follow up with how they respond to my actions.

They used to have a tick box for exclusivity in a really easy to mis-click place back in the day. I ended up with a couple of accidental exclusive images that I spotted much later and contacted them saying they were never exclusive. They were fine with it. Hopefully they will understand.
