High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria, with evidence on record since January 2026. The team sent official outreach in April 2026 to the parent company, a consolidated request covering ThemeForest and several sibling platforms, asking for a review of the Syria restrictions under current sanctions rules. The company has not yet responded.
Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent to Shutterstock at legal-notices@shutterstock.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Envato Elements, ThemeForest, AudioJungle, GraphicRiver, VideoHive, and TurboSquid under the current OFAC and BIS framework.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at ThemeForest or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
