I feel like it is worth bringing community attention to - we are art people here and it is so sad that Depositphotos decided to use war as an excuse to earn some extra buck and spread hate.
Depositphotos stopped payouts to all Russian and Belarusian contributors. There was no notice in advance, Payoneer and Paypal still worked in those countries - people just got emails that starting now they won't get paid but Depositphotos will keep selling their content. As I know they are the only microstock that chose to cut off contributors (and they are already in a pretty sad and bad situation already). No need to say that most Russians and Belarusians do not support the war and are nearly completely stripped of their savings and earnings. We are supposed to create art, not war. So very sad.
I deleted my portfolio from this Depositphotos, don't want to support the owner who chooses a path of hate and discrimination.

How long does it take since last Licensing options change to be able to change them again? I changed them yesterday at 10 AM local time but disabled only video. Now when I'm trying to disable photos as well - it keep saying that I did it too many times today, try later.

Image Sleuth / Re: Is it infringement or not?

first of all u need to make sure the image was purcahsed through shutter...
as for the site posting the high res image, I dont know what u mean..why don't you post the link here so we all can see???

here is the link: https://hostelblog.hostelrocket.com/top-ten-places-visit-venezuela/ through right click you can get image over 6mp resolution. Later I've found few websites who share "free" wallpapers by simply linking to pictures in high resolution, and my picture was linked to this website. Tough they deleted it once I wrote them that this image is actually for sale. So, I mean, it's super easy for anyone to use it as he/she wants.

And what's about getting info where they purchased this image - they simply don't reply. I guess it might matter to write to hosting or domain name registrator so they can get this info from them (if they will decide to do so).

Image Sleuth / Is it infringement or not?

Hi everybody!

I came across two web-sites with articles with pictures and one of them is mine. They posted it in high resolution and basically it's free for everyone to download it through right click. I went few times through Shutterstock licenses and I didn't see that it's actually forbidden but then when I wrote to the support they said that if I provide a proof that the image was bought from Shutterstock they will investigate. So, that made me think that, actually it might be illegal.
I contacted web-sites' support as well and now one of them simply deleted the whole article and another one never wrote back and photos are still on their page.
It's super difficult to understand license's language if you've never been in a law school, so I thought that I can get help here to clarify this matter.
