This guy is confirmed to have straight up copied at least one person's photos. It IS a copyright violation when the illustration is obviously traced from the photo. https://www.shutterstock.com/g/pyram_is

The emails are not coming from Deposit Photos. Check the reply address. You got phished.

I have fair sales of vectors on Deposit Photos. The problem I think with Canstock, is that, no matter how nice a jpg preview you include, they generate their own preview, and do it wrong. So the vectors don't look good. I only offer the jpgs on Canstock now.

SS advertised on Craigslist as a way to make easy money, then accepted everything that was submitted. Instant billion.

Most of us know what threads and subforums to post in.

Check with the agencies you sell these through, these sites may be affiliate outlets. With the outlets, every time they make a sale, you get a sale. So if they sell one sticker, you get a sale. If they sell a thousand stickers, you get a thousand sales.

Selling a digital creation as stock is different from simply selling copies of it. What you are selling is not the file, but specific usage rights to the file. You can't sell that if you don't own it. When you buy a file, you are buying the right to use it in stated ways, but not the right to sell it again.
There may be some exceptions to that, but they would be rare, and expensive.
Get better software, and make your own designs. You ARE an artist, aren't you?

Are you a photographer or not? Take your own pictures.
If I catch anyone trying that with my work, I'll fling rabid lawyers at them.
I hope that answers your question.

I pay for the hosting and the bandwidth has limits. I don't like it when someone steals my paid bandwidth for their cheap site or for a blog. I don't believe you should either.
Oh, but it's so much fun to switch pictures on them when they do that. There are "free coloring pages" sites that regularly hotlink to the thumbnails on unseengallery.com. When they do, I redirect my page to a duplicate, and replace the image they're linking to with lemonparty or tubgirl.

SuperPhoto, I'm going to give you the benefit of a very small doubt, and suppose you are thinking the images are hotlinked.
There is one instance where I don't mind if someone uses my images without buying them, and that is hotlinking to the thumbnail in a forum. If they are not using it to make money, but just trying to illustrate their comment, that use is a sort of advertising. The hotlink will give someone a way to find the site I am selling the image on, if they want to buy it.
Otherwise, thieves can die in a fire.

They're using the images. Watermark or no, they're stolen.
Placeholders should not show up on a live site.

Don't upload your stuff to Pixabay.
Lots of downloads from there doesn't mean an image is good, it means it is free, and people will download stuff they don't even want because it's free.

The world is coming to an end, and your reaction is to post here? Get your priorities in order!

Are you asking about editing your own images, or images already on the site?

Not everyone can open and work with pdf files.

Colourbox has turned down my application, even though they were hosting some of my image stolen by one of their accepted contributors.
To be fair, they took down the stolen images promptly, but it just makes them look unprofessional.
However, many of us sell at chaotic agencies, for less than .20 per sale.

Just a bit of information. Myloveiew is a Shutterstock outlet, and the images deleted from Shutterstock will vanish from there, but sometimes still show up as for sale for some time. However, purchases are disabled.
Shutterstock has several outlets like that.

Shutterstock is stirring their algorithms to spread sales out among contributors. The idea being to continue to take in money from sales, but not have to pay out as much, because no one contributor will make enough for a payout for a long time.

So we can all stop repeating the factoid that you must be the author to complain at ShutterStock. DMCA and other places may be different. I'd say if any Microstock site comes back and says we must be the author, then they don't care and are deflecting any efforts to protect us.
We only say that because Shutterstock keeps telling us that. Tigershoot, let us know if Shutterstock responds to your report, what they say.

Thanks for pointing that out. Shutterstock has had a serious problem lately with not noticing that someone is uploading images stolen from Shutterstock.
I think you should report it, as a buyer. I know Shutterstock only takes contributor complaints from the owner of the infringed image, but they need to know that this sort of thing makes buyers nervous. If you can't be sure of the image's bona fides, why take the risk?

Hm. No notice about this from Shutterstock. I wonder if they know about this decision?
247

I'll bet you the company in question would vigorously protect any image THEY owned the copyright to.
It's Shutterstock. They don't vigorously protect their contributors' work.

...a clear blue sky... Anyone can reproduce it...
Not if you live in the UK...
Please explain why not? I'm not in the UK and don't know the clear blue sky laws.
Any sightings of clear blue sky should be reported immediately to the National Observatory for verification.

The "E-marketer" you paid was using your account to launder money.
You are lucky all that happened to you was losing your Shutterstock account. Interpol objects to that sort of thing.

$800 in sales?
Would you mind showing us some of your work? Maybe we can sort it out. Apparently Shutterstock thinks your images aren't good enough to justify that many sales in such a short period of time.
Is there anyone you are supposed to pay for those sales?
