Title: I found some of my images here - Dreamstime Partner?
Post by: Allsa on January 13, 2012, 14:45

I found some of my images on this site:
http://phototimes.ru/image/the-forgotten-13171535/ (http://phototimes.ru/image/the-forgotten-13171535/)
They have the Dreamstime watermark. Does anyone know if this is a DT partner or an illicit site? I can't identify the language used...

It's Russian.  I tried translating it with Babelfish, but keep getting an error.  It does appear to be a Dreamstime partner, because it has DT's logo within the site's logo.

Based on this thread http://www.dreamstime.com/thread_26444, (http://www.dreamstime.com/thread_26444,) I think it is safe to assume they are a partner as that thread is nearly a year old and DT has not denied them being a partner, nor have they taken the site down.

When you find your images distributed by somebody, you can check up on them here.  http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/a-list-of-partner-programs/ (http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/a-list-of-partner-programs/)

If you find somebody new, you can post in that thread or shoot me a site mail and I'll update the list.

There is "Official Dreamstime Partner in Russia" written in footer of page.
Wow - after twenty years I still can read some russian.  :)

One of the nice features of Chrome is that it automatically translates the page for you. Chrome agrees with jm73 that it's an official Dreamstime partner :)

That's what I thought, with the DT logo displayed. Just wanted to be sure.
