I don't think so. From the FAQ:
"What can I do if I purchased the pirated image(s)?
SIM do a lot of job on copyright protecting, but no method is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your rights, we cannot guarantee all the images copyright are absolute security.
If you believe that any Images you purchased from SIM website infringes upon any copyright, you may complain the Image’s Contributor by click “Complain” on Orders & Downloads sections. SIM will terminate the Contributor’s account who infringes the copyrights of any third party.
You are recommended to contact the Contributor directly for such infringement; you can get the personal contact information on the home page of the contributor, including the name, address, telephone number, and email address. If you need any detailed information during the judicial proceedings or arbitrations, we can assist you in court proceedings by providing the copy of the Contributor’s passport or the copy of the agency’s Certificate of Incorporation so long as we received the requirement notice from the court."
So in addition to the broken English, there is the issue of them providing full contact information for the contributor to a buyer, which I'd have a problem with.
There is a separate issue with the site not noted in any of the earlier threads - RF images with people without a model release. See these examples:
http://www.superimagemarket.com/ImageDetail.aspx?ImgNum=001gx003247
http://www.superimagemarket.com/ImageDetail.aspx?ImgNum=001gx006339
http://www.superimagemarket.com/ImageDetail.aspx?ImgNum=001gx007437
Without a model release these should be sold with an editorial license (they have a RL license supposedly for that purpose) and I can't see why they say "Not required" for model release. Same for property releases:
http://www.superimagemarket.com/ImageDetail.aspx?ImgNum=001cw001760
The spam keywords on this image (tourism? traffic? panorama? construction?) are pretty bad
http://www.superimagemarket.com/ImageDetail.aspx?ImgNum=001iz000093
And pricing is all over the map, for no obvious reasons. High:
http://www.superimagemarket.com/ImageDetail.aspx?ImgNum=001iz000093
http://www.superimagemarket.com/ImageDetail.aspx?ImgNum=001cw001729
Low:
http://www.superimagemarket.com/ImageDetail.aspx?ImgNum=001iz000093
And above all, I still don't see anything written about a plan for bringing in buyers - why will they come here versus go to Shutterstock?
Ariene:
Thanks Jojo for the steps but "edition" is not working, I can't see any of my images to choose them. I can see clear white space between menu above and instructions down the page.
And yes, I admit that the pricing on the site is crazy and complicated/entangled...

I see, if you want to modify the price of online images, please follow these steps: upload images>organise images>image online>click the edit which on lower right of the image>then you could modity the price in image edit page
I hope it's works this time.
About the price, the contributor is the only person to set the price, maybe you find some normal images with a higher price, while some excellent images with a lower price, but all these are decided by contributors, we believe they will choose the right price with the development of the market.
Thanks.

Thank you for your focus on SIM, you are always here, so glad to hear from you.
About the model release and the property release, we already have found this problem, and we have modified our quality control process, but for the images which already online, it takes us some time to correct them.
About the keywords and the price, the contributor is the only one who edit and set them. We do promot contritors to manage and organise images by themselves, including the title, caption, keywords, relaese and other information, what we are doing is build a platform in where contributors could do theit own business, as the shopkeeper on SIM, they have the rights to manage their contents.
Shutterstock is a long established company, they do very well and we could learn muych from them. But we believe that as the development of the market, image buyers should have more choice, and the photographers also need more opportunities.
Thanks
