Unfortunately we can no longer keep online images with Caucasian white people wearing American Indian attire (or any other type of native people). This is now considere cultural appropriation so images, even with children, need to be removed.
Watch out, anyone wearing sombreros! 128

General Stock Discussion / Re: Stock Agencies vs YouTube on copyrights« on: September 26, 2021, 13:45 »I think that's because there is a difference between selling photos with commercial licenses (featuring people or buildings) and publishing a video for free on a platform like Youtube.

Maybe were not understanding the question. Do you have a client that you are working for who tells you to download an image and you isolate it and use it in a project for them?
Of course, uploading -anything- with -any part- of something copyrighted by some one else to a stock site is illegal. 132

Exactly. Any image can be used inappropriately. Theyre taking the lazy way out. Instead of doing their job to police usage.

We are in the process of removing all such imagery from our online database. Thank you for your understanding. 135

I'm still using the 70-200mm I bought in 2006. Still amazing. 144

It's not a bad deal, but the max estimated amounts were quite bait-ish. Yeah, I have to agree on that one. 148
