I have seen a huge increase of my artwork on amazon this year from POD sellers. total of 398 different products ranging from wallpaper, skateboard art, carpets all the way to toilet seat covers.

I do not like doing this, but I have been reaching out to some of the sellers for clarity (will write a separate post on that later).

One as been vocal and willing to divulge information (after reporting it to amazon via infringement claim).He admitted using illustrations and photography from Adobe Stock and showed me proof of purchase. The license was just a standard one, so I politely explained the difference between standard and extended and he immediately apologized for his mistake.  he was really sincere and truly sorry for this mistake and agreed to take down or purchase the extended license of those images.

I was happy with the outcome (he took them all down), but was concerned about all the other contributors from Adobe and this forum. so, I asked him about the rest of his products (over 10,000) and he agree that he will review all of them this week and will buy the necessary extended license where necessary.

so please have a look at his store on amazon.com, amazon.ca, etc... (I noticed listing differs from different domains) and search his store with your most popular image title from adobe (he copy/paste the same title for his product listing on amazon):

if you noticed some of your photos or illustrations in his store, please keep an eye out for extended sales.  Hopefully, that would mean he is keeping his word on cleaning up his store and that would make me happy that I converted him into an honest seller.

Cheers and stay safe everyone
