Sorry, from what you initially said, it sounded like a someone was just displaying a painted version, which may not be against something like SS terms - "Falsely represent, expressly or by way of reasonable implication, that any Visual Content was created by you or a person other than the copyright holder(s) of that Visual Content.".  Like if they were using it to advertise a show or something, would be fine.

What you described now, definitely isn't fine.

That's what i thought.... i will issue him with a take down notice and if he does not remove it i will take legal advise... it is give free in the UK for copyright infringement...

I walked past an art gallery in my town today and saw an exact copy of one of my images in a painting format? Is this legal? I read through the licencing on the stock sites and don't see anywhere where this is permitted? Any advice would be appreciated!

Yes, if they licensed the image and it is just a one off, it is likely within the terms.

Which licence allows this? According to my understanding of the Standard and EL someone can incorporate element into an artwork but not make an exact copy. It's not a one off as the chap is selling prints of the same painting. On an ethical level, this is offsides. He selling himself as an artist but has stolen someone elses creative talent.

Shutterstock.com / Is this within the shutterstock RF licence?

They are reselling all images as prints that they download from Shutterstock on request? I was under the impression this was against the RF licence agreement???

OK.. so i need some advice or if you can steer me to an old thread that covers this i would be most greatfull... i did a reverse google search for one of my images and found an art gallery in Australia (i live in Africa) selling two of my images. I know this is illegal but i don't know what the best way is to deal with this? Any advice would be much appreciated. I am going to send them a 'ghost' email asking for the prices of the images and how i can go about buying it just to understand their business better... There are no prices published on their website... to say i am pissed off would be an understatement ...

I am very interested in hearing your thoughts?

Alamy.com / Re: Why encourage me to upload again?

I got the same email.... I expanded from SS to many many other sites (8 months ago) to test the waters and Alamy was the worst of the lot. Zero sales and zero activity to date... I stopped uploading after a few months of wasted time.

I'm asking in general
Please help in this regard
Is not it possible to say something about this situation?

According to the poll on the right

Exclusives = 340.60 USD per month
Non Exclusives = 219.80 USD per month (20 Agencies combined)
Nope, those numbers need to be multiplied by 5 to get a dollar amount.  Exclusive is $1700/month and nonexclusive is $1100/month (assuming you added correctly, I didn't check that).

Thanks  ;)
