It's so easy to steal other artist's vector illustration and to profit from someone's hard work!  >:( >:( >:(

It is, but you'd think (if the agencies gave a toss) it wouldn't be hard to do some automated checking for similarities with things already in the collection (probably using the JPEGs?). And the agencies should exchange data with one another to make it harder to pilfer from one and sell on another. Someone would have to look over any items flagged as a match, but this really should be part of how the agencies earn their keep.

Thanks for posting about this stvagna

Ye gads, how did you even notice that?

That's my question as well. But stvagna never tells that.

Wow, they have 12000+ images in their port. Good catch.

That's the only match then.  The others must be from someone else.

As long as those 2 match it doesn't matter if the rest is from him/her or someone else.

This will be a big "financial"loss for Istock, let's see how they handle it.

Pablographix seems to have had his/her port removed.
Some thums are showing, but when I clicked on them, I got a 404 not found.
