Okay... usually I don't care, but since I've heard a lot of people having their videos and photos bought by some (unlimited download subscriptions) and then used on fake profile for resale I've check on few of my accounts and I've seen one month with 50% of the revenue coming from China which is NEVER in the country listed in my revenue usually !
I was wondering what would be the best way to track if my footage or images are used by a fake account...

I don't trust China in general after few bad experiences (this happened in the past) and also because they (it's always from there... what can I said) are using my girlfriend's art work without her permission on MANY Alibaba store.
Drives me crazy !

For a moment I thought they are using your girlfriend.

You can't say China, see the other thread on stolen images.  ;D

Your art isn't worth anything unless someone else believes it is.
