Shutterstock.com / Re: Shutterstock put ad banner in the Dashboard« on: September 12, 2021, 11:28 »
just noticed it also. Very weird to see it on the dashboard - don't think it's really a smart move from SS (and not sure if it's a very good placement of adds either)

Image Sleuth / Re: Another blatant thief at Shutterstock« on: August 17, 2021, 09:18 »Here we go, Shitterstock team never stop the race to the bottom : je suis vraiment dsol Vectorsforall. I've been spending my summer taking down those thieves ( I know, it's sad) and was 95% successful in doing so, but I was fortunate that none of them are on shutterstock website. I had a few with Adobe stock. pond5 and Envato Videohive and it was super easy to process via email, resulting in takedown and full account closure in 1-2 days (not a big fan in using DMCA forms - don't really like giving those thief's my personnel information). for Amazon, it was relatively easy, but wish they made it a bit easier by taking the infringement asset down across the whole amazon domain range (right now you need to file one IP infringement per country, amazon.com, amazon.ca, amazon.co.uk, etc.....). the only one that I have problem with are torrent sites and some servers in china (only reason is because I can't write in Chinese to make a formal complain). for those 2 type, I usually ask for help from Adobe, pond5 or Envato (but never shuttertstock - they are useless). the only outstanding site that I'm trying to take down at the moment is one that posted large image dumps with "proof of purchase" screengrab from shutterstock (the thief's are using it to show proof they purchased it if someone ask for it). I notified shutterstock about 1.5 month ago and still didn't get any results (only an acknowledgement they received my email). I feel Shutterstock takes a huge percentage of income from my images and videos and I don't really get much protection from them. Cheers everyone 4
Adobe Stock / Re: Amazon Print on Demand merchandise and Adobe license« on: July 15, 2021, 19:16 »I am having the same problem with another website that sells wallpaper. This company bought three photo's with a standard license and are selling the three photo's as wallpaper. I discovered it by change. Sometimes you have these websites where your photo is on but you clearly see the watermark of Adobe and then it's an API client of Adobe, I assume. But this website is clearly not. Hey SVH, sorry to hear that you are also struggling with this type of infringement. it's possible that some of them are legit by using some type of API through adobe, but they usually keep the watermark on those image. I just heard back from Adobe in regards to this amazon seller and they confirmed that Standard license does not allowed to resale derivative products, only the Enhanced and the Extended licenses do. In the case of printed products - I'm assuming the only option is extended licenses. With a Standard license, you may not: Create merchandise, templates, or other products for resale or distribution where the primary value of the product is associated with the asset itself. For example, you can't use the asset to create a poster, t-shirt, or coffee mug that someone would buy specifically because of the asset printed on it. With an Extended license, you may: Create merchandise or products for resale or distribution where the main value of the product is associated with the asset itself, such as a coffee mug or t-shirt. I will be sending all this info to Adobe shortly via legal department and hopefully they can pursue and protect all the other contributor's artwork still available in that store. 5
Adobe Stock / Amazon Print on Demand merchandise and Adobe license« on: July 14, 2021, 21:23 »
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): https://www.amazon.com/s?me=AU350TTTVDFHT&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER 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 6

just got an answer back from Envato. looks like I'll have to submit a DMCA for some of the videos that belongs to me (don't think I can submit a DMCA on behalf of all the other illustrators).

Thanks Video1977
I emailed Envato support team last night and will see what they say - they are usually very responsive with this type of complaint. stay safe 8
Adobe Stock / Re: Adobe Stock Sftp 10x slower than with Ftp« on: June 29, 2021, 09:19 »
I haven't seen any differences between SFTP and FTP on my side. Adobe as always been the slowest uploader of all stock sites I contribute (usually half of other FTP). I usually compress my video a little bit more (going from 2gig to ~600mb) or upload at night time.

I'm so sorry pfiverzv, I feel your pain.
I'm seeing the same thing on my account with Shutterstock and it's really depressing. I'm still waiting for adobe to replace Shutterstock when it comes to video sales, but unfortunately this won't happen anytime soon. I've been uploading a lot less video lately, just can't justify the cost vs reward from it at those prices. stay safe 10
General Stock Discussion / copyright infringement, derivative work or just stolen?« on: June 28, 2021, 19:51 »
Hello,
I hope this post finds everyone safe and healthy. Sorry for this post - I'm new and don't know if I can post this here. I found some of my work on VideoHive by another author but not sure if it's legal (derivative work), copyright infringement or just plain stolen? He seems to be taking images from shutterstock, adobe and other agencies and overlaying video elements to make it a video asset. his account as been around since 2018 and made a lot of sales since (over 1,591 assets sold). here is portfolio on VideoHive (MusicoLab ) : https://videohive.net/user/musicolab/portfolio?utf8=%E2%9C%93&order_by=sales Modern web network and internet telecommunication from Oleksiy Mark Shutterstock: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-illustration/modern-web-network-internet-telecommunication-technology-523968604 MusicoLab at videohive: https://videohive.net/item/server-room-network/22586603 Abstract futuristic infographic from WhiteMocca Shutterstock: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-illustration/abstract-futuristic-infographic-visual-data-complexity-1165818856 MusicoLab at videohive: https://videohive.net/item/digital-data-world-news/22586428 Communication technology for internet business by greenbutterfly Shutterstock: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/communication-technology-internet-business-global-world-1421446100 MusicoLab at videohive: https://videohive.net/item/communication-technology-world-network-background/28281920?s_rank=17 Abstract background. luminous swirl by Rybin Dmitriy Adobe: https://stock.adobe.com/ca/images/abstract-background-luminous-swirl-elegant-glowing-circle-bright-spiral-glow-ribbon-empty-space-sparkling-particle-space-tunnel-glossy-orbit-colorful-ellipse-glint-galaxy-oval-stage/157909033?prev_url=detail Musiclab at videohive:https://videohive.net/item/abstract-luminous-swirling/22931197] [url]https://videohive.net/item/abstract-luminous-swirling/22931197[/url] and https://videohive.net/item/futuristic-background/22931565 Lamp of Wishes In The Desert from Romolo Tavani Adobe: https://stock.adobe.com/ca/images/lamp-of-wishes-in-the-desert-genie-coming-out-of-the-bottle/104000720?prev_url=detail Musiclab at videohive: https://videohive.net/item/lamp-in-the-desert/22063801?s_rank=2 Abstract Technological background by Spainter_vfx Adobe: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-illustration/abstract-technological-background-made-different-element-712496005 Musiclab at videohive: https://videohive.net/item/tech-background/22008768?s_rank=44 demonic ugly face looking at you by Hektor2 Adobe: https://stock.adobe.com/ca/images/demonic-ugly-face-looking-at-you/31845952?prev_url=detail Musiclab at videohive: https://videohive.net/item/evil/22586439 I know some of those designers and recognize their excellent work (purchased a few of them in the past), so it was easy to figure it out and find the assets back to shutterstock or adobe. but for others, it's very hard to do reverse image search on google (because they are video assets). if it is derivative work - would I assume that this is possible if author (MusicLab) purchased an extended license for resale? seems to be an expensive option and don't think he could recoup from it (even with so many sales).
