General Stock Discussion / Re: Big increase in ELs at Shutterstock?« on: September 29, 2011, 14:01 »I'm trying to find something that makes sense to explain this, or I'm going to start thinking there's a hacker with a fake credit card out there downloading all the images he can until the hack is caught and shut down, and all these downloads are removed from our accounts. I can't explain the high number of ELs, but a hacker buying EL makes no sense. If he can get an image with a fake credit card, what use would be an 'enhanced license' for a fraudulently obtained image? He does not get any more rights than he already has - namely none whatsoever. 103

General Stock Discussion / Re: Big increase in ELs at Shutterstock?« on: September 27, 2011, 10:35 »Anyone else seeing a rise in these? Something must be triggering the increase. Could SS be promoting ELs more heavily? Should I be concerned that these aren't legitimate sales (bad credit cards, etc?) Yes, I got 22 ELs this month. Very unusual. But I think they are legit. 106

Accept Photoshop .psd files for illustrations (in addtion to .jpg, .eps, .ai, .png). That would be very interesting for me.

IS is falling the fastest among the big 4, but FT has the lowest traffic now. This confirms my suspicion that FT might be in serious trouble.

I can't help but think that this is a desperate measure...
I'll make sure to request payouts whenever possible. 114

At least the Shutterstock license explicitly does not allow to use images on Cafepress:

I translated the site in English, and it's saying something about some illnesses... I don't have an idea what this Baylor is, and why it's embedded in my images... This "Baylor" seems to be the name of a clinic. Perhaps there are using your images and the blog author just copied them. 124

I uploaded proven sellers and still flat out rejected. Of course, then you have to wait a month to apply again. That surprises me. Shutter used to be easy to get in for vector artists. What exactly were the rejection reasons? 125

I think he intends for more than just selling his own images. Here is why:
All this would be overkill if he only wanted to sell his 40000+ images (which is not really that much for a website) directly to customers. |
