I have noticed that many accounts on shutterstock with stolen content from apps like Kinemaster....
And based on the portfolio names and account creation date, and same content in all account...Most of these accounts created by one person/same family members...

The worst part is that Shutterstock promoting these portfolios by keeping their content in first pages when you search "Green Screen".

Here is the list of portfolios...

(I doubted that all those above portfolios created by one person...or same family.... Same content in all accounts...and that too stolen default effects from apps like Kinemaster)

here few more accounts with stolen content from Kinemaster

I contacted Shutterstock customer support, but they don't care to delete those portfolios or remove that content...
What they want is their 60-85% royalties they get from sales on these files...

When you search "Green Screen" for videos, you get around 7,00,000 search results... And the accounts I am mentioned having stolen effects from kinemaster and other apps, all combine 60000-70000 files...
it's almost more than 10% of search results for "Green Screen"...These are just few..

There are many other portfolios who stealing effects from apps like kinemaster...I assume all together more than 1 lakh green screen files with stolen content...But Shutterstock not taking proper action...

here I am attaching screenshots as proof...

Here I searched for waterfalls in these accounts, it's just one example...You people can check same content in all accounts(most these ports belong to one person/family)....

By Shutterstock allowing such thieves and promoting their content in "Popular results", my sales and revenue decreased 40-50% in last one year....

Another high quality thief on Facebook, as per usual from Pakistan


Complaining his stolen photos got incorrectly rejected for AI but they were taken with a "good camera"

Then goes on to admit happily he's stealing them but was just wondering why they're AI rejected.

It's also possible that it actually is 'different' guys - because sometimes one guy will brag about how much $$$ he is getting, and then 'share' a complete set of links and others do the same. (Sometimes on youtube, sometimes on facebook, sometimes other areas).

You could be right that it is just one guy - but it could also possibly be multiple individuals spamming stolen accounts.

And for cobalt/F8/zeljok that like to get morally outraged - look @ the names of the accounts. What nationality does it look like? Hmm. Thinking cap time.

As for WHY shutterstock doesn't do anything... My guess is because they don't care - and they get more $$$.
They only care if it affects their $$$.

If the authors sued SS and filed huge claims, I think SS would start working.

Based on the contributor names only I asked Chat GTP to give the approximate locations of the these contributors on a world map.
