Shame, I just tried to download, and they are absolutely free. There is not any of my work there, but definitely you should write to support. |

I sent a message to DT about this site, since there is a link to them from there. |

Break the link for sites like these (enter it as vectorgraphicsblog dot com). It will keep them from finding out where traffic is coming from. We don't want them to know that we know about them. |

Sadly there are lots of sites like that out there, there are even shutterstock contributors who download illustrations from there and upload them as their own, the top 100 most populars and top 50 designs are all there. I know "illustrators" who sell my work, this is a shame.
btw, where can i report them?or what can be done about it?
Regarding these sites, not much can be done, as soon as SS force them to took it down, they appear somewhere else. |

Certainly continue to report them to Shutterstock... I think it's our responsibility to harass and harangue the thieves as constantly and ruthlessly as possible ... maybe one day they will discover it's not worth it, and stop doing it. Okay, yeah, maybe I'm daydreaming a bit here... :) |

That's crazy... I have to lose my time to write for removal my stuff... this has no sense... there are , as everywhere, all my best collections there....
SS and other microstock site really should make a deal with google to remove those site from web searches... it could be a start... |

You can also report the site to google adsense (which I have already done). Copyright infringement is one of the options to report on. |
