So the thief stole your clip by downloading on Shutterstock's cheap video subscription? Or Adobe Stock?

Here some constantly scold sites with unlimited downloads. But any video can be bought on the same shutterstock or adobe or iStock also by subscription, and the price will be very low. I know that shutterstock authors are paid 25 cents per video sold. Therefore, there are no stock agencies now where you can not download videos at low prices.
All sites now sell videos by subscription! All!

If you only sell your stock videos on Pond5 and not opt in their video subscription, your clips are pretty much safe.

I don't upload to any "unlimited subscription" sites. Also one of my stolen clip which I submitted to Wirestock.

One of the stolen file which I uploaded to Wirestock and Getty Images. I didn't get any sales in Wirestock for that video, and 3 sales in Getty Images. So, he must be downloading those videos from Getty Images.

Those cheap video subs are dangerous too. If you really want to preserve the value of your stock video clips, you can't sell on unlimited download sub sites or Shutterstock/AdobeStock/Getty/iStock cheap video sub sites either. Selling for decent price only on Pond5 is the only safe way. More popular your clips are, more thieves will flood your clips on their fake contributors account. At the end, everybody will download your unlimited or cheap sub clips and nobody would pay any decent money for those clips.

Pond5 also sells videos at a low price. I often have sales for 2-4 dollars.

These are rare limited license sells.

What does rare sale mean? And who is rare? If a thief wants to buy a lot of videos under a limited license, and the main thing for a thief is to pay as little money as possible, then he will buy videos on Pond5 as well.
