SS Security Issues with images
derek:
Just for the record! they steel images all the time from SS! and there is fat all SS can do anything about it!
max headroom:
I have found many many shutterstock hacking methods explanation in very popular site. I have reported to SS and the site. The site did not take my complaint serious but Shutterstock made some of the links removed. Now I am trying for the rest of the links.
I believe the major drop of recent sales are also result of this popular and public thieving methods.
ravens:
Checked today and the sites x*downder and sh*tterdowner are both functioning. Both.
SS is well aware of them (also, notified them again about these sites) and let people steal our work.
I have not uploaded to SS for a couple of weeks. If more people stopped uploading, SS would actually had to DO SOMETHING.
Cathyslife here is right, functional links to these crap sites help thieves. Google will find these discussions anyway, so please do not post direct links.
It is strange though that SS have removed discussions about stealing our work. By that, they're saying that it is worse for us, copyright holders, to complain about stealing, than for these scumbags to actually steal!
