Copyrights, Social media, Selling

[Simone Cooper]

Hello there,

I have very simply three questions to "law" experts of Stocks and mostly Adobe Stock photos.

1. Can I post my photo on ANY SOCIAL WEBSITE or MY WEBSITE --> IF my photos already passed verification on Adobe, and are ready to sell in my Stock Collection for Adobe customers... or it's illegal and from that moment are only exlusive for Adobe?
2. What If I already posted my photos on my social websites or my website before and then "I decided that would like to send it to Adobe Stock, for sell purpose" too?
3. Can I sell my photos to my clients, If my photos passed verification and also are avaiable to Adobe customers?

I would like to get answers for these THREE, and if you have some informations what is illegal and on what I should take care when monetizing my work, feel free to share informations.

You can answer as simply as you want to, just to be clear with the information so I can understand.

Thank you! Best regards, Szymon

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

As you retain ownership of your pictures and Adobe does not claim exclusive rights to your assets, you are free to use your assets as you wish. You could even upload your content to a site distributing your assets for free. The only thing that is not allowed is to upload assets here, where you do not have complete ownership.

As a side note: I also contribute to other providers, but as the ROI here is best, I neglect those sites, most of the time.
