This morning was the first time I used TinEye to see where my images from istockphoto are being used. I immediately found one of my istockphoto images, uploaded over a decade ago, being sold at Shutterstock. It had been uploaded over there in April of this year.

For anyone else in the same predicament, there is a page at Shutterstock where you can report Copyright Infringement.

It does make me wonder if Shutterstock does any checking at all. I was able to find this copyright infringement in just a few seconds. They ought to be doing a quick reverse image search for every image submitted to them.

My stolen image is located in this portfolio:

I've been doing a lot of copyright infringement work so i figured I'd add a few resources.

I've been using Tineye, Google's Search By Images function, Bing Visual Search, Pixsy, and Lenstracer. Tineye used to do a good job of finding images but now it's finding a lot of dead 404 pages. Google Images search works very well at finding active matches. Bing finds something occasionally. Pixsy searches multiple images simultaneously and works well but also finds a lot of false positives and dead 404s. I just started using Lenstracer and it also searches multiple photos simultaneously and has had good results with fewer false positives. Hope this helps.
