Yes you heard that correct, here we are working day and night for years to produce stock photos and shutterstock security is so week that you can download the image on this website by giving original image URL:
Is there any way to stop this nonsense?
The first thing that would help is if people would stop posting actual links to the offending site. You are just helping them! 
I posted this link only here to professional stock photographers but they do have a chrome extension as well and I am sure many are using it already.

I just tried it with one of my images and it works.
Although it's a small resolution file (1000px) it's still worrying.
It's like wack-a-mole...these sites just keep popping up after getting shut down.
& the 1000px version is good enough for more than 80% of users to use the image without buying. This is where artist get smashed in head..

This has come up many, many times. SS seems to not care about closing these loopholes.
But this is definitely costing us photographer a lot. People familiar with these sites don't bother buying the images because 100px image is more than enough for them to use on website or even in printing

Hi All,
Today, I was redirected to ESP automatically but there is still no option to see my unpaid earning. Can anybody guide how to do so? I triedl to click on Royalties but it says "Royalties data will not be available until your first transaction has occurred. Please try again next month"

Hi All,
I uploaded 94 images on 25th and 85 are approved without any email or notification, one of those were sold few hours ago but when I click on that image or any other image it giving me this error.
"This image is pending approval or doesn't exist"
Is this normal or something is actually wrong there?

Hi All, Shutterstock have the new option for buyers to select 2 images pack for $29. Can you estimate how much a contributor will get in that case? http://www.shutterstock.com/subscribe?clicksrc=full_thumbWe are normally getting $1.88 if buyer sign up for 5 images pack but this is new case. Thank you all in advance

Search changes algorithms should be made mostly to promote new material saving buyers to see the same old pictures over and over again. To give files exposure and a chance of selling which should be a positive thing
Changes in micro-stock and especially by agencies like SS and even Adobe are made purely for one reason in the hope of increasing profits and in the case of SS trying to satisfy shareholders.
Thats a vast difference from a sort order change trying to benefit both agency and contributors.
Seems to be that the longer it goes the more SS is falling into the trap of the Getty way to never give their contributors an even and fair break.
This is excellent analysis since it is festival season so SS is offering all new wave of images to buyers but strangely all sales are .25 cents

Yes, this is a huge change after few months down. In my case, I am making good sales with my newly submitted images as usual. The new image sale was down from last 2-3 months.

To Update you all, I've made my first sale on Alamy and I earned $20 for that

Thank you guys for help! Adobe/Fotolia resolved the issue, Fotolia moderation team blocked me due to the slack emojis I have submitted few weeks ago, and I have found out the problem was with e-mail system they had not received my e-mails sent on 18th Oct.
Thanks to @MatHayward for unblocking my Fotolia account.
So the copyright was the real issue behind as I doubted earlier. Congrats for getting your port back, I can understand how hard it is to build one...

This is very serious concern for all contributors working day and night to provide professional contents to these big enterprises. As what I see in your profile, it looks like you were working in vector and something got hanged due to copyright issues, just assumption not blaming anything on you at all.

Someone Inside SS is helping FT to become No. 1 for sure....

Hi All,
I had $104 on 25 of last month but they are still there in my account. Can you confirm the date on which they will process to money to my payoneer?
Thanks!

I would try to review a bit your keywords...
Not sure how to give you the link to my alamy port but you can go through my fotolia portfolio, the keywords are all same.

Could be anything: Alamy's customers don't always buy the sorts of images you can get cheaper on the micros, they are slow sellers (I had over 800 before I got my first sale) or it could be your keywords, or any number of other reasons; but where's your port so we can check?
You can check the images on my SS portfolio link below.

Hi All,
I've about 600 images on alamy and I've received 2986 views - 6 zoom but never got any sale, Is it still keywords fault or just the Alamy slow sales?
Thanks!

Yes, I also got my pictures accepted in less than 1 minute time after uploading and only 9 rejections out of 99 photos. I resubmitted them and they were also accepted. Looks like someone in shutterstock is helping FT to become number 1 in poll results...

I don't see Fotolia passing SS anytime soon, but my sales there have probably doubled since Adobe took over.
My prediction was hard to believe but thanks to SS Engineers they are making it true by giving 3-4 flaws on site every week. You can see changed stats on the right too

All of sudden today, when I try to access my port it is giving me this strange message: This contributor has no active images in their portfolio.
SS is actually going to ruin their brand t give fotolia more changes to become number 1.. Anyone else having the same issue?
