briansm Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 My friend found out his image: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-24512275/stock-photo-hip-hop-style-dancer-performing-against-a-white-background.html has been unlawfully used to create this vector: http://www.shutterstock.com/results.mhtml#photo_id=41107819&src=00c9f1c6a3c4aa23b97ad4005a325b9d-1-17 We found many other images from other photographers are being used by vector artists to create silhouettes of hip hop dancers Link to post Share on other sites

You need to shoot your own reference material especially for tracing, so there is no gray area. Like the others said, contact support. Link to post Share on other sites
