I can only recommend, stay away from all the sites that sell your content for pennies, or were custommers can even steal your content for free. And especially stay away from all the unlimited downloads sites, because thats how i ruined my portfolio, thieves stole my entire port, and keep uploading them everywere over and over again. I went now exclusive with pond5, so at least my new content is not going to be affected anymore.
Its time to start respecting our work more, and treat it as such, because if you dont respect yourself, others will make use of that.
Best of luck to everyone here.

I hope it works out well for you. The stock footage industry is in such a bad state right now (and we can blame SS for that.)
Thank you very much for sharing this with us. Thats the best idea you could have had, i did the same thing 5 months ago, and i can already see that it was the right move, i already make more than before, because of the higher price i set, and the commission of 60% on my Pond5 Exclusive account. Best of luck to you, you want regret it.

If you upload to any of those unlimited download sites, you should be ready some thieves somewhere in the world will download and upload your clips as their own by tweaking a little bit. It's just how it is.
True, but they usually dont even tweak the content, i had hundreds of my videos stolen and resold and some thieves even copied my titles and keywords. And at one of this agencies you can even steal content without paying a single cent for it.

This guy is selling some of my videos in his portfolios on different platforms. Check if he is not stealing from you too.

Where did he steal the footage from? Storyblocks? Artlist? Envato? Or else? Im curious about this since since Artlist approved my application and this is exactly what concerns me.
Yes your exactly right, this happend to me once i started uploading to SB, Artlist and Envato. On this plattforms people can steal your entire portfolio, and the problem is once they have your content, they can reupload it over and over again. SS had to remove 12 accounts with my stolen content, and that was just on SS. I guess this thiefs just reupload that same content again, with familiy mebers IDs or so. I have some great niche content, and this will hurt my sales for sure, since they sell that exact same content, and if a customer buys it from them, they will not buy it from me again. I found one of my clips as a best seller on envato, and that clips sold 71 times, on envato you can see how often a clips has sold, and i only saw it because it was on that page for best selling content. Thats 71 times i could have potentialy sold that same clip to that customer instead. That was the moment i removed all my content from all does unlimited subprictions sites, and still thiefs are uploading my content over and over again.

I think you never had to have a wittness, but it was strongly recomended.
You can also see that on the old getty release, it says strongly recomended.
So i think most agemcies will accept your releases even without a wittness on it.
