Can I report an account to Shutterstock that contains stolen videos, but none of them are mine? If so, what email address is best to use? If I give them about 10 links to the original content on various sites would they remove the whole portfolio or just those clips?

I used this one recently

For example I have reported this portfolio of stolen images recently https://www.shutterstock.com/g/cardinalillustration

A great collection of entirely stolen landscape images with crappy AI titles.

SS should ban the thief. But they don't.

Still there and like most others, it's amusing to see the stolen images are from far reaching and exotic locations, around the world. This person has a good eye for things to steal, but is obviously not doing these on their own. Easter Island, the Arctic, Africa, South America and a assortment of stunning wildlife, plus mountain aerial. I didn't go past page 3. 

Yes, SS should ban the thief. But they don't.

I guess selling public domain images from the Department of Defense as your own is alright at Shutterstock for the last 4 years..

*. 2000 of them.  And 1 duck.

Further proof SS have no human review system any more.  If they did, any basic reviewer would have realised these images were NOT shot by that person with appropriate rights and permissions.
