Title: Shutterstock DMCA
Post by: Sundry Photography on June 12, 2024, 13:10
I made a request on their online form over 1 week ago, with no response. Today I receive a notification to send it by email. Does anyone know if this is normal?
Also, it seems that you need to report asset by asset, but I would like to report an entire account, which has more that 400 photos stolen from me. I wrote in the request this, but I'm not sure anybody is going to read it.
Any ideas of what else I can do?

Hello,

I received a helpful template from another member here, Odesign. I'm attaching it for your reference.

You can use this template to list your clips.

I previously submitted a DMCA for ten clips, and Shutterstock closed the account within 10 days.

I also contacted a couple of other stock contributors whose clips were part of the same portfolio. To find the original copyright owner, you can find other contributors by doing a reverse search (using TinEye) on a few other assets. Some contributors have their email addresses listed in their portfolio's "about" section. I think having other contributors submit a DMCA fastens the process.

Wishing you all the best,

Daniel

Thank you! I resent it. Let's hope they will do something this time.
