Thief.

I did inverse image search on some of the thumbnails of stolen clips and found those clips probably were downloaded from Envato Elements' unlimited download.

If your clip was stolen, send YouTube a copyright infringement claim. They'll remove the videos and hopefully eventually close that thief YouTube account.

wow, sick.
thanks. insane how these ppl love to steal & resell because they are soooooooooo lazy to do any real work themselves.
3 million views - for 'adsense', if enabled, probably made about $20k from stolen ppls work...
probably not the only one... I'd suggest doing a youtube search for "free" + "stock" + "footage" & variants, and you'll probably find a lot more... this kind of thing tends to be popular in east indian communities (although of course not the only ones that do it) - and usually there are certain "get rich quick" schemes in some forums, which are less than ethical, and sold as "courses"...

Yes, I found the 2 more thieves by just searching channels for "free stock footage". They just keep coming.

I did inverse image search on some of the thumbnails of stolen clips and found those clips probably were downloaded from Envato Elements' unlimited download.
This is one more argument not to upload content to sites with unlimited downloads.

And which one are these?

And which one are these?
First of all, there is an outflow of buyers from sites with high prices. For example, from Pond5.

I upload my videos on pretty much all stock sites I have. Thinking to upload them only on video hive and P5, and maybe AS

we should create one money fund and participate for all those who manage to find such thieves. Whoever finds it should be rewarded. then we would find more such thieves!

A few of us Storyblocks contributors brought it to their attention and along with our own take down requests for our individual clips, Storyblocks issued a take down request for the entire channel. I guess that worked.
