- Why can't I download an entire album from the Community?
Unfortunately, this feature is not available for the Community section.
The Community section is comprised of images that are uploaded by our members. The member has editing control and they can add or remove an image at anytime. This makes it too hard for us to make Community albums available as multiple image downloads, for the content of the albums is always changing.

- What does Webshots do to prevent copyright infringement in the Webshots Community?
- Members must represent and warrant that they are the owners of the copyrights in all of the materials they submit to Webshots or that they have obtained permission to submit the images from the copyright owners.
- When copyright owners notify us of postings which they believe infringe their rights, we promptly delete the postings from the Webshots Community.
- Once a copyright owner has advised us that s/he does not want her/his images in the Webshots Community, we delete any future postings of the images that we become aware of.
- Each time we delete a posting on the basis of an infringement complaint, we send the responsible member a stern warning. If we receive repeated complaints about the postings of a particular user, we will delete all of the albums within the member's account and disable the account from further use.
- We include a copyright infringement warning in our photo upload screen.

- Does Webshots monitor the Community and delete any copyright infringing postings?
Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to review all Community images for possible copyright infringements -- approximately 100,000 new images are uploaded to the Community each day. Also, in most cases, it is not possible to know whether an image was uploaded without the permission of the copyright owner. However, we promptly remove postings that are reported to us by copyright owners as infringements of their rights.For additional information about reporting infringing postings, visit our Report Community Copyright Violations page.
