Gigs that violated copyright rules ! Photography

[andreipop]

Hello,

I have a problem with other people gigs related on photography. I have 2 years activity here with some photography gigs (I sell my own photos). Two months ago a guy created a new gig, he sell the images from shutterstock here and of course this is illegal. How this could be fix ?

Here is the gig: fragglesrock

Of course my sells dropped a lot because of this …

I don’t think its normal for some people to work and earn money and others just steal and re-sell someone else work (in shutterstock its clear mentioned that the photos are not for sell !).

What can I do ?

• I contact the seller
• I have sent a mail to fiverr team
• I will contact the shutterstock site as well

Let me know if you have more ideas !
Thanks

Thanks !



I will notice the DMCA as well, from my view it is only a matter of time. I only hope that the fiverr support team will react sooner.



I mean he is the only one who provide this service … why is that ? too smart ? no it is illegal.

That is terrible it really is bad to see that people are too lazy and thieving to come up with their own content but yeah I agree you did the right things so far there’s nothing else I can see that you could do but good job with what you did though!

I see that are several gigs that do this on fiverr. More of that the gig that I am talking about now its recommended by fiverr :)) I am not sure I can do anything about this … anyway if you guys have any ideas let me know !

You can report them directly to Shutterstock. I think they’re easier to contact than Fiverr CS.

I reported on shutterstock forums, admin forum and shutterstock support.



Next step for me is to fill up a DMCA report, but this will have impact on fiverr.com, I just hope that someone will take action soon.

Update, this morning the service was gone.



I am not sure who took action (fiverr of shutterstock) but I am glad they did. This is a proof that we can “fight” against lazy people and keep our rights!



Thanks again for all your ideas (I followed all of them).



NOTE: on fiverr are many other who does the same and they are still out there, I think I need to report every one of them ? these sites does not have admins or employees that check this kind of things …
