Title: Food photos - Zazzle again
Post by: gill on November 16, 2010, 07:49

There seem to be an awful lot of istock and other images here (http://www.zazzle.com/thefoodcollection) if any food photographers want to check it out.


In answer to Carl on my last thread, yes, you can make money but you need a lot more than 49 products! I'm up to 1200+

Are you sure they are from IS? I checked the best ones and couldn't trace them using TinEye, but one at least seems to have come from here:

is the bar of the Majestic Hotel, Barcelona, from their website. After that I ran out of tineye time.
I've reported those but others are harder to track down, and from past experience, just because it's on a stock site doesn't mean they're the author - I go by date of upload in that case.

I see now!  I wonder if comp images were used, with watermarked removed, because zoom doesn't show a sharp image.  The preview of my own work at Zazzle has better quality.

 I see several photos of mine that were stolen. Don't know what action I can take to get them removed.

so zazzle didn't penalize users who had violated other copyrights?

If the users will get banned and confiscated the earnings to charity, it will help a lot.
