Don't know what to tell you other than that you will have to plea your case with istock directly. I've shot thousands of these over the years and while the shots are all distinct, to a novice's eye or to someone who actually has not physically done this type of work, depending on your setup and method, they can all wind up looking the same after awhile. I would say the judgment was made by someone who has not actually done splash work.

As far as the similarity of your image to the image linked on istock, I'm going to say Not Even Close.

See, this is the danger with splash and isolation works, although not even close, I would say, someone has complained towards you and got it their own way. Unless your isolations are somewhat original, like RT, for example, its a dodgy business.

Very strange, your file is nothing like the one they have said you copied, are you sure that is the reason?
If it is you need to get on the phone with them.

sodafish · « **Reply #4 on:** March 09, 2012, 03:38 »

is it a vector you uploaded from a traced photo?

Microbius · « **Reply #5 on:** March 09, 2012, 03:55 »

I knew I recognized that name/ portfolio!
Here's a thread about this guy on SS:
http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/abt119023.html

I found some of his images on DP that I could have sworn have been reported on here before as being made up of other people's images
The city here for example looks very familiar.
http://depositphotos.com/8031171/stock-illustration-world-city--road.html

This thread is just a red herring. Move along and good ridance

ETA here is the image from the SS thread, I have a screen grab if it gets taken down by the thief. http://www.crestock.com/image/4010815-model-stairs.aspx

and here the original it is nicked from: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-39112009/stock-vector-sexy-girl-dancing-disco.html

I suggest if any vector artists have a a minute they google up his portfolio on the micro sites and have a look for their own work

Yuh right, okay then, good luck to, and all the other people opening portfolios in your name on other sites with the same images.

Microbius · « **Reply #8 on:** March 09, 2012, 08:25 »

bye then, just for the record, another one:

Don't think we've heard the last of this guy, looks like he has a history of reopening accounts when he's shut down (that and he seems to have a lot of portfolios with "borrowed" images open as we speak)

PMSL!!! help?? open another account dude, oh boy

archibald1221 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 09, 2012, 13:26 »

I have a question: When account in Istock is closed - you don't have possibility to create new account there with the same ID ?

princigalli · « **Reply #11 on:** May 17, 2012, 08:27 »

I think it's better to talk to them instead of opening multiple accounts

Microbius · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2012, 08:51 »

Please review the posts in this thread, the OP was actually reuploading other people's work as his own. No doubt by now he has opened another account to continue his nefarious activity under a different name, I don't think speaking to IStock is going to help him.

Think you'll have better luck contact iStock's contributor relations - submit a ticket.
