Corbis Stock Photography

I'm wondering if any other archivists have had dealings with Corbis Stock Photography? Have there been cases where Corbis obtained prints from a source who signed said prints over to Corbis who then begins marketing them. The problem here is that Corbis' original source did not own the copyright on the images, yet  Corbis claims they do, even when notified they either do not or may not.

Thanks,
