Hello everybody,
I just see this website: www.imsearch.co.kr (http://www.imsearch.co.kr)   with my images
Is it legal ? Is it a partner site ?
I found nothing about it

It appears to be CanStock images - I'm opted out of partnerships everywhere that I can, but CanStock doesn't permit that (and their parent, Fotosearch is partnered with lots of sites). The image numbers match:

They have phone numbers on the website, and business address etc, so from that site it seems professional.

The .co.kr domain extension is for South Korea, and the Alexa traffic rank is very high with no data at all, so it may just be a scraper site perhaps with no traffic?
