They're the same person.

202
123 has always been slow to review.  I started routinely sending them a message whenever I uploaded, so things would get reviewed.  Now that has stopped working.

Time to bail, I think.

203
They just sweep for available files online.  It's bait for their malware.  Your images are not in danger.

204
I would take $50,000 for my portfolio in a heartbeat.

They seem to be a legitimate secondary market.  Check with your particular sites to be sure.

Barbasol IS a trademark. 

207
It's pretty easy to tell when the same person is logging in to two different accounts from the same computer.  If your Aunt wants to sell illustrations, she needs to get her own device, AND she should do her own uploading and checking her account.

Never mind, I found it.

The problem is that you are NOT Christopher Campbell.

designer093, I can't find your images in the archives.  How many did you have up?  What name were you using?  Even if your account was removed, the thumbnails should show up in the wayback.

Drawing classes would help you to create more exciting and realistic shading, which would make for more appealing images.

Sometimes, I just can't stand people.

GLStock / Re: GL Stock Seriously??
« on: August 05, 2018, 18:15 »
Upload vectors on GL the same way you do on many other sites.  eps and jpg with the same name at the same time.  Make sure the jpg is big enough.

214
Let me put it this way.  If some idiot uploads my images to pixabay, and you download them, and do this, I'll sue you until your ears bleed.

So, don't take the chance.

Image Sleuth / Check for yours... portfolio of copies
« on: July 05, 2018, 08:48 »
This guy is confirmed to have straight up copied at least one person's photos.  It IS a copyright violation when the illustration is obviously traced from the photo.

DepositPhotos / Re: Requesting Personal Details on E-mail
« on: June 26, 2018, 18:34 »
The emails are not coming from Deposit Photos. Check the reply address.  You got phished.

217
I have fair sales of vectors on Deposit Photos.  The problem I think with Canstock, is that, no matter how nice a jpg preview you include, they generate their own preview, and do it wrong.  So the vectors don't look good.  I only offer the jpgs on Canstock now.

Shutterstock.com / Re: How can the SS database grow so fast?
« on: June 07, 2018, 16:34 »
SS advertised on Craigslist as a way to make easy money, then accepted everything that was submitted.  Instant billion.

Most of us know what threads and subforums to post in.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Possible Photo Misuse
« on: May 25, 2018, 14:15 »
Check with the agencies you sell these through, these sites may be affiliate outlets.  With the outlets, every time they make a sale, you get a sale.  So if they sell one sticker, you get a sale.  If they sell a thousand stickers, you get a thousand sales.


221
Selling a digital creation as stock is different from simply selling copies of it.  What you are selling is not the file, but specific usage rights to the file.  You can't sell that if you don't own it.  When you buy a file, you are buying the right to use it in stated ways, but not the right to sell it again. 

There may be some exceptions to that, but they would be rare, and expensive.

Get better software, and make your own designs.  You ARE an artist, aren't you?


222
Are you a photographer or not?  Take your own pictures.

If I catch anyone trying that with my work, I'll fling rabid lawyers at them.

I hope that answers your question.

I pay for the hosting and the bandwidth has limits. I don't like it when someone steals my paid bandwidth for their cheap site or for a blog. I don't believe you should either.

Oh, but it's so much fun to switch pictures on them when they do that.

There are "free coloring pages" sites that regularly hotlink to the thumbnails on unseengallery.com.  When they do, I redirect my page to a duplicate, and replace the image they're linking to with lemonparty or tubgirl. 

224
SuperPhoto, I'm going to give you the benefit of a very small doubt, and suppose you are thinking the images are hotlinked.

There is one instance where I don't mind if someone uses my images without buying them, and that is hotlinking to the thumbnail in a forum.  If they are not using it to make money, but just trying to illustrate their comment, that use is a sort of advertising.  The hotlink will give someone a way to find the site I am selling the image on, if they want to buy it.

Otherwise, thieves can die in a fire.

225
They're using the images.  Watermark or no, they're stolen.

Placeholders should not show up on a live site.
