Today I asked SS to set my account ready for payment of my latest earnings. I used to be able to do this myself, but they made it impossible for me by deleting my portfolio from SS. The reaction I received at my request from SS: You may not amend anything to your account until my investigation is complete.
Do not try to circumvent the process again.
I excused myself for my not being aware that I was subject of an investigation... OMG; is this the way you treat a contributor or a criminal?

Did you checked his other works too? This guy is genius! I got too dizzy  , but you might find a lot of inspiration there and think out your own original patterns. He has lots of great illusions. And there's a logic in there. No need to copy, but the inspiration is the thing you can definitely find.  Good luck!
Haha, one thing I learned is not to get inspired by anyone anymore... you'll get deleted before you know it...  ...after a few requests my SS gallery still won't be set back online... I give up here.

Mark, I guess your work was too similar to the illusion of Japanese Professor of Psychology Akiyoshi Kitaoka, who won the Gold prize of the 9th L'ORAL Art and Science of Color Prize, in 2006 in Tokyo with the similar image.

PS: Don't miss the warning on that page: This page contains some works of "anomalous motion illusion", which might make sensitive observers dizzy or sick. Should you feel dizzy, you had better leave this page immediately. 
Okay thank you Maigi. Didn't know about the professor story though. SS showed me the page also. It looks like this is the claimer at SS who claims all the official rights to this effect. SS should remove the image then. Too bad for the good vector quality I made...

I remember seeing something that looks similar to this in a book years ago. Can't remember the exact book but there are a series full of optical illusions. Perhaps they hold the copyright and complained to SS?
That is possible. I already suggested to SS not to make a big issue about it and delete it from my gallery. Allthough I did the vector construction totally by myself, it's not worth any fuss.

So did you find what illustration caused the problem? And why? In my similar case it was "logo" of green punkt (recycle symbol) - i really didn't know, that it is a logo, I thought that it is just a common symbol... And the first email from Shutterstock I didnt get either.
Hi Orson. Yes it's about an optical illusion graphic I constructed in Illustrator. It looks like someone claims it to be his/her copyright. But SS won't/can't tell me who or what is the exact claim here. After some searching at SS, I found some more graphics like mine in the SS database that appearently are no problem. Quite strange: http://www.shutterstock.com/results.mhtml#photo_id=23246977 I'm sorry. Can't show mine... it's offline.

Not the first time this has happened, and probably not the last. It's difficult for a bystander to know who's at fault for the lockout, but SS' lack of communication in cases like this leaves me speechless every time. It's as if they are unable to understand that people are sometimes not guilty, in spite of what they think they've found. But since they are both police, judge and jury, they have the right to be right, every time, and whatever the truth may be.
Well, I got contact to SS finally. It looks like I missed their e-mail where they ask to respond to a copyright issue. I appologized for not having seen their email and asked them to put me back online again, if necessary without the trouble making photograph. Unfortunately untill now without any positive result. Guess I'll have to wait what they decide.

I'm sure that would depend on why you were kicked off. It's hard to say whether someone had the "same experience" when you've given us very little information about what action was taken, other than that your account was disabled. I also wish I had more information, otherwise I wouldnt be here. Perhaps after you speak with SS and they explain why, you can come back and give more details.
I will. It seems strange to me that you have waited since Feb 21 with no understanding of what happened, yet have not attempted to contact them other than through email. I would have been on the phone within 5 minutes of making the discovery, regardless of long distance charges.
I only discovered it 3 days ago (lucky me I don't have to live from that income). For whatever reason they don't put their phone number online... If there is a claim of copyright infringement made by another user, even if it's just one image, the SS policy is to immediately suspend your account.
Thank you. Is this the way to make clear that there's a problem with a photo. Just to shut off an account.? SS policy really s*cks then.  What kind of respect is that.

Does anyone have the same experience?
How did you get back online again?

Thank you Mellimage.

perhaps they sent an email without you getting it?
Have you tried calling them on the phone?
Did not receive any email and can't find a phone number at their site. Just email addresses they don't reply on. Does anyone have a phone number?

Copyright infringment?
All photo's were made by myself or were constructed by myself in Illustrator. If it's a copyright issue, why don't they notify me first about anything? They just shut me off! What can I do?

Since feb. 21 my account suddenly was disabled. Just like that. No notice. No warnings or anything.
My uploading has been disabled. My gallery is empty. Banned from forum. No reaction from helpdesk.
I am waiting for three days now for an answer. I searched several sites and forums for information about what I can do. But it seems that photographers have not many rights or voice at Shutterstock.
Does anyone have a clue or have the same experience about what's happening at Shutterstock? Please let me know.
Thank you!
Mark
