Dreamstime.com / Rejected for HAVING a model release
« on: December 14, 2009, 14:34 »
Had a few rejections a few weeks ago of a woman's pregnant torso.

Rejected for HAVING a model release. Yes you did read that right.

Upon questionning it, I have been told to upload without the MR.

Is it just me, or is that crazy? I would have thought it would be better to eer on the side of caution, not reject a file cos it does have a MR....

Anyone else have any simliar experiences?

StockXpert.com / Licence Infringement - photos.com - Getty
« on: November 21, 2009, 08:08 »
Hey

about 3 months ago, i found one of my images being sold on a Licence Plate (vehicle) in the US. The image had never been purchased under an EL, so i contacted the vendor, who told me they had bought the image through photos.com.

So i contacted Stockxpert. They then contacted jupiter/photos.com, and then it went off to Getty to investigate.

3 months now, getty ignore my emails, stockxpert cant get hold of the getty people.... and the licence plate is still being sold with my image on, without the correct licence.

What would you do...?

iStockPhoto.com / Potential Licence Breach - istock no help...
« on: November 19, 2009, 18:56 »
Right i'll keep this short.

Image used in advertisement. Could have been downloaded from 3 sites. On 2 of the sites, would require an EL. On iStock, it wouldnt.

When contacted iStock about whether they could confirm if the image had been purchased from their site, the reply was...

'Unfortunately, because you are not an exclusive contributor, we have no reliable means of verifying if the image was licensed through iStockphoto.'


How on earth can they not know who bought the image, or confirm that it was bought through them!? A simple yes or no would suffice...

Moreover, such attitude sounds dangerous for any non-exclusive. 

Anyone else experienced anything similar?
