Stolen vectors from multiple accounts

(1/2) > >>

graphicV:
I accidentally discovered a thief. I recognized some of popular vectors in his portfolio. I read somewhere on the forum that you must be the copyright owner if you want to make complain (maybe I'm wrong). Anyway, I will post links here, I hope that copyright owners will see this.

And many more...

I doubt the original artist will see this, I am writing to the first one, so she can file the complaint, maybe others have more time to contact the rest?

LE: I also wrote a message to the third one.

Justanotherphotographer:
IStock were excellent at taking these guys down once informed so hopefully if they get one or two reports about this.

zsooofija:
The third one (the original artist) replied me, and he reported it. Hopefully it won't take long. I am curios if they just delete one image or the whole port.

Great, thanks for your effort. Well, the entire portfolio is consists of stolen files, with multiple files from a single user. So, it will be ridiculous just to remove one or a few files.
