Rejected for Intellectual Property Violation, Why?

Every image I have submitted of military aircraft in flight has been rejected as an IP violation, with no other reason stated.  This is despite the fact that I can search the site and find many similar images that are accepted using similar search terms.  Trying to understand the disparity?

 

Attached is one of my images with its stock number that was stated to violate IP rules.

 

A-10 Warthog, F-35A Lightning II

" I do not see anything in the list that says Adobe does not accept military aircraft."

Equally, I don't see anything saying they are except from the release rules which apply to all other identifiable man-made objects.


Where and how "the release rules which apply to all other identifiable man-made objects." be applicable?

I do not see why no one can see or comment on the writing on the folded wings of the aircrats in the picture. Why is the emphasis on what is not in the guidelines and not what is in the image that the contributor is asking about? 

 

There are over 29, 000 war aircrafts on the Adobe Platform, and at least some looking like this one. If the design rule applies here, why was it not applied over 29,000 times prior to now?

Hi @Nikon__Shooter ,

 

There are identifiable marks on the folded wings. These must be removed. I suggest you remove the lines also and make it total blue. 

In addition to the IP there are other issues. There is a lighted halo around the edges, especially those in the highlight, and a small amount of color fringing.

 

Best wishes

Hi @Nikon__Shooter 

It seem the line is really a joint, so it can stay. but the writing must go.

The technologies depicted in your photos are easily identifiable.  If I purchased your image for use in a million dollar ad campaign, the designers  could sue me for using it and sue you for making it available.  An IP release helps protect everyone's interests.

Maybe the others had the necessary releases, and yours didn't...?

Seriously, please enlighten me what releases are needed for images like the above?

Property releases from the intellectual property owner. Fairchild-Republic for example. Unless the object is over 100 years old. (NOT the owner of the plane, the US government; in fact if the US federal government were the IP owner, special provisions would apply). This is a normal part of commercial photography, and the owner may not consent to their plane appearing in adverts; it's their choice. Without a release, it's only suitable for editorial use. No, you can't submit for editorial use, though some other Stock sites will.
