Hello. I uploaded a photo where is a part of globe with political borders and country names. It was rejected because of Intellectual property (IP) issues. Can you give me advise why that kind of photos are not allowed?

    Did you manually create the Globe and Maps yourself? 

    If not, you’re violating IP.  You can’t claim credit for the work of other artists.

    Was it a photograph or AI? If it’s a photo, the globe you photographed is probably protected by IP.

    The problem is probably the globe. But yes, please upload the image for us to see.
