Title: Stocklib Epictura selling my images
Post by: hofhoek on May 18, 2009, 13:22
Hi, Anyone knows about Stocklib by Epictura? www.stocklib.com .They are a French company which is selling millions of images. I just discovered they are selling about 1327 of mine and I never gave them my consent and I dont think they payed me for any of these images. Are they connected to any of the major stocksites?
Thanks, Patricia

Just found my images on there.

as well as saying "powered by 123RF" at the foot of the page it also says
   
"Đ Copyright 2003-2009 EPICTURA IMAGES"

I think they should make it clear that they are claiming copyright in the web page/design, as this implies they are claiming copyright on the images.
