No, that is absolutely forbidden. All Adobe Stock contributors have to give a legal agreement that they own all the rights. 

There is a process for reporting this. (Sadly, it is not unusual). It is called DMCA and is a special legal process; Adobe must read your complaint, and allow both sides the chance to prove their ownership. https://www.adobe.com/uk/legal/dmca.html More info https://www.artistic-license.org/takedowns/adobe-stock-takedown-process/

That's a violation of the contributors' agreement with Adobe. The contributor will be barred from Adobe stock.

 

Moving this to the contributors' forum.

 

Edit: And the picture has been taken down!
