Title: Magnetqueen - anyone heard of it? Legit?
Post by: ChasingMoments on September 03, 2009, 16:33
Just found some of my images (and saw a lot of others I recognize from stock) on this site, available for sale/download. Is it an affiliate of one of established sites? Or what is it ? Anyone heard of it?

It might be legit, don't know - I just never heard of it, and couldn't find any info about any of its partners.

A lot of familiar images on there! Legit or not?

They are from 123RF.  Same file numbers, same sizes and ELs.

Legal or not, we can never tell...  I wished all sites revealed their partners, and how can we trust partners anyway?  How secure are our files?  We can expect files to be safe in the big sites who have a name in the market, but what about these other sites?

Ahh, thanks! I found a few other 123rf affiliates, some with quite interesting domain names (there was something about zombies in one of them :). In any case, at least it's a 123rf affiliate... but I agree - we probably don't know some (if not a lot) of info. On the other hand, I am not sure how much traffic/earnings these sites are getting anyways.
