The smart thing would be to sell the site with all it's back end contributor problems to someone who wants to invest in fixing the back end.

The Layout and Design was a true work of Art.
It is a shame that the Functionality and Critical Contributor end was never given a chance to be fixed.

Best of luck to the Z man on his next venture.

Yeah, surprising they haven't taken this more seriously... unless they are still planning on checking into this further and taking further action.  I can see Fotolia not wanting to be brash in their decision, but on the other hand this seems pretty blatant.

If it ends up that the punishment is simply a slap on the hand that will only encourage others to try and steal images and see how much they can get away with with little fear of any serious consequences.


I simply cannot believe that is taking so long to deal with thes gangsters. what is up with thes bozo amdins?

bozos might be a bit harsh...

Top Dog Chad is a stand up guy 100%

I have a feeling it may be some strange red tape BS( that needs to be streamlined ASAP to prevent this delayed full on action in the future)

Let's see how the day unfolds.

You only have 2 options:

1) You sell them a customized version outright that does not conflict with your collection.
(If you do not do a customized version it will degrade the total value of your overall collection and make outright sale in the future near impossible unless the purchasing company really enjoys legal hassles)

I have turned down 2 offers in the last year in the 6 figure range to protect the value of my complete collection.

Or the best option:

2)You sell them a character endorsement license.
(My current fee for these is $3k usd for each "endorsement" image)
If the character is shown with trade dressing of the company or logo it still needs your copyright ident for the character.They are not allowed to legally try to tie your character with their trade dress or logo but can display it in association with the proper copyright credit.
Making your character image a "spokesman" for their company.

My recent posts to Fotolia Forum:

How long will it take to be removed?
Hi Scott - Have you informed Support, they don't always come into the forums ?
Yes and sent an email to Chad
Hi Scott - he should be back to you after the weekend then if not before.

Congratulations on your Emerald status - think it is the first time you have been in the forums recently



The Next Day:


???A batch of photos and illustrations removed but the portfolio STILL EXISTS with 2 pages of images(and still stolen images in it)????

Lets get real here... Is this going to be Fotolia policy to just say "oh well let's give these criminals another chance".This sets a bad standard for the ENTIRE INDUSTRY.

TOTAL ELIMINATION AND BAN OF THE OFFENDER with legal action is the ONLY ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE.

A slap on the wrist is NOT acceptable.
