How do they even get that many images? Are those stolen from Shutterstock? Or how does that work? I would like to think our images are safe on your servers.

How do you download 42 gigabytes of images without alarm bells going off?

Once I had someone download 50 of my images, I always thought that was fishy.

e.g. could be some person in big agency, they have DB of img they bought. And he just stole it. :)
