Having a dilema.I want to download a vector file from pixabay-free to use in any comercial way, modify it, add some content, and after that submit it to Shutterstock or istock as stock file.Is this legal? P.S. sorry for my grammar mistakes, I'm not a native English speaker.Trimis de pe al meu SM-G935F folosind Tapatalk
pixabay - It`s a company based in Germany. For each image they use not legal from you, you could sue them. You can get several hundreds of € for every single image. Why not..

Some of the images shown in the search results are in fact sponsored by Shutterstock, and will take you to the Shutterstock site.Yes some of my images are there, but they are sponsored by shutterstock and when you click on a picture, it takes you to SS to buy them. Still, I would rather they not be on such a scumbag site at all.
Look at this topic not as a new contributor but as a long term contributor who has problems with copies. There is a forum here called Image Sleuth. Read that for a while and consider what it means for a long time contributor (you eventually and hopefully) who wishes to protect his work/copyright and not have it stolen by some newby that copies or slightly alters your personal income pieces. How will you feel when somebody copies your work and tries to make the money instead of you? Maybe somebody takes your work, that took hours to create, and puts it on Pixabay for free! http://www.microstockgroup.com/image-sleuth/ [nofollow]
So, they're partners of SS and presumably also AdobeStock? I checked some obscure subjects I have on iS and happily they're not there, but the ad which popped up said, "Didn't find the right image on Pixabay?[AdobeStock logo]For a limited time, Pixabay users get 30 days of free access to Adobe Stock."FWIW, I hate these parasite sites too.
