I found lots of my pictures there as well. Some have my name by them  but others show an AGE copyright. This may be from YAY but  GreatAmericanArt isn't on their distribution list?

Hello,
 
It looks like we obtain permission to offer those images through AGE Fotostock.
 
Best,

Great American Art


which means it can be Zoonar, YAY and possible a few more

My photos are there too.  They are showing a name I only use at Veer.

I find a few of mine too, under two different names. Looks like it's Zoonar AND somebody else. If they are coming via age fotostock the other one is in my case possibly not Yay, as I have disabled age as partner on Yay.

Lucky me, I don't send my work off to the sharing partners sites where we lose all control of what they are doing with our images. This is a fine example. Maybe 123 and FT and people are guessing where else.

That's not very professional, on their part, for agencies not to disclose where they are selling and distributing.

indeed Pete! YAY and Zoonar do tell us which are their partners (both we can opt in/out), the wrong part here is with AGE Fotostock because they are partnering pictures to Great American Art without contacting us

Hi,
I found some of my images. I'm not in zoonar and YAY. I'm in Fotolia. Age is a partner of Fotolia. If partners add partners it's easy to lost control of our images.

I'm not on Yay or Zoonar so if your images are from there there must be others.

My agencies are IS,SS,FT,DT,123,BS,Veer,photodune and stockfresh.

I'm guessing Fotolia

Is this one of the deals where we only get paid for a normal download if someone purchases from their site. i.e. no extended license even though some people would consider this to be items for resale kind of arrangement.

Wow a partner or a partners, partner, is sending out your images. That's pretty scarey. Talk about losing control of your own work. I'll just hope it's not IS or SS doing this. Whatever it is, it doesn't look quite proper?
