Carla Renata GettyImages

On the media gallery for Carla Renata (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1484341/) there are quite some photos with a very clear GettyImages watermark on it. I know I can submit a deletion request for them, but I feel it is more useful if a staffer would contact the person who added these photos to point them toward the guide for this kind of stuff. (https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/images-videos/image-guidelines/G27LPBQZA7EAZGJW?ref_=help...#, where it says "We do not allow the following: Images displaying third-party ownership or branding, such as watermarks. Watermarks of the title's creators, such as the production company or TV channel, are acceptable")

Also, given the sheer number of photos that shouldn't have been accepted in the first place as well as the fact that this problem has occurred to several titles as well (see https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/peter-pan-gettyimages/6070d846a9d33801cdb5edf0 , https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/leave-it-to-beaver-gettyimages/604514a632c631317bb7a378 , https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/the-jack-benny-program-gettyimages/5fb03b2f7fd3a810dc2dcd1b , https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/mark-allen-gettyimages , https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/toast-of-the-town-gettyimages, https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/help-gettyimages, https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/laverne-shirley-gettyimages , https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/happy-days-gettyimages, and https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/mork-and-mindy-gettyimages ), I feel it's IMDb's duty to clean up this mess.

These are the photos:

Hi Marco -

Thanks for reporting these images, I confirmed that they were uploaded from an IMDbPro managed account that has claimed the page, I have reached out to the account holder to confirm our policy on Watermark images and to request the removal of them.

Cheers!

@Michelle "I have reached out to the account holder to confirm our policy on Watermark images and to request the removal of them."

And if they don't remove them? What will IMDb do then? Or are you basically saying that IMDbPro members CAN add photos that go against IMDb policy?

Hi Marco -

If the contributor of the images is non-compliant with our policy/request, our staff will manually remove the violating images.

In this case, I can see that the images have remained on the site, as such I have now removed them, she should be off the site shortly.

Cheers!

@Michelle I have a related question. I know a lot of galleries have duplicate images that are copyrighted. For example Netflix shows or Star Wars movies. The three prequels have a ton of images from the red carpet premieres. The copyrights are worded different but dozens and dozens (and dozens!!) of images are duplicates. I don't know if the movie studio uploads and then also the photographer does the same thing. Makes the galleries for this movies or shows to be dozens of pages long with a ton of duplicates. If examples are pointed out can the same thing be done as above? Reach out to who uploaded them and ask them to delete duplicates?

Hi ben_hampel -

To complicate the issue, there may be certain rare instances where there are duplicate images listed on the site that cannot be removed due to support of internal site functions, however, this is not always the case.

For these occurrences, our staff will need to review the duplicated images to determine the source of the issue. If you have some examples, such as for the titles you mentioned above, please post the IMDb title links here and our staff can review them further.
