skylineboy Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 was this just the fee they'd have paid anyway? or was there an uplift for being naughty? Managed to get another infringer to pay up. Only got them to pay via Alamy but I'm working on my own invoicing for the next time, as getting Alamy to chase images stolen from them gets me nowhere. That makes 4 sales for August so far which is good for me for this point in a month. Geoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 'Sale' 99 just popped in. 2 & 1/2 years of uploading. 40 'sales' so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Was just what they'd have had to pay anyway. In future though once I start invoicing myself, I'll add something to it. Geoff. Not sure if this applies to your example but remember under s27 of the contract Alamy reserve their right to deal with direct infringements themselves. I think it would apply to ripped off watermarked versions but not third-party lifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramsay Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 A magazine cover for $346 - unfortunately a distributor sale, though, so I only see $100 of that Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbro Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hey folks, look like we are getting a raise. The ever so popular Personal Use got a uplift to $19.99. Now we all should be ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Today my 2016 sales to date surpassed my total number of licenses for 2015. Mind you, 2015 was not exactly one of my best years on Alamy. Still, it's very encouraging to see things bouncing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callie Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just had a book sale come through for a nice figure or around $90. My only concern, and it's a big one, is that I had the same image licensed on the exact same day of July, and all the details match (but the start and end dates are one month on). I would expect that if I had a refund first and then a license adjustment. The amount is slightly different but that's likely just the exchange rate affecting it. The conditions are for one-time use though, so maybe they decided to print it twice? Or maybe the same company wants to use it in a different book too? I'd love to be able to get more information on our sales! I wonder if anyone else has had a duplicate sale like this without first seeing a refund, and with no refund appearing soon after? Geoff. Mmmm, I've had exactly the same thing happen today. Same picture licensed on exactly the same date last month - amount this time (also c$90) for a couple of $ less. Can't see the license details yet, but it's not looking good - fingers crossed That's interesting Kay, thanks for posting that. Was your sale for an "educational book" in the UK like mine was? If you can see the sale in your sales report, you'll also be able to download that and see the license details (it opens like a spreadsheet). Geoff. Educational book but says worldwide rather than uk. License exactly the same both times but one month later. First time was 91.70 this time 89.56 Thanks for heads up about being able to download the details I had one yesterday for 89.56 Country: Worldwide Usage: iQ sale: Educational book. Editorial print + digital use. Inside. One time use only. In context re-use permitted for life of title Industry sector: Media, design & publishing Start: 17 August 2016 End: 17 August 2031 but mine is a first time purchase - wonder if a bigger deal was done and a bit of discount given? Or it could just be a second publication with some similar images, ie I have had student and teacher editions before, similar books but not exactly the same.

ReeRay Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Just licensed an image for the 17th time of what was once the kids next door. Identical Thai twin sisters who were 6 years old at the time and will now be teenagers. Long since moved away sadly. My best earner by far and I never even left the house!

Kathy deWitt Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I've been chasing an infringement I mentioned in a Forum post last year.....an image used as a Christmas card which I discovered in a shop containing on the back the phrase, "Courtesy of Alamy". I can't find the original post but I'm very happy to report that this sale has appeared at last in Summary of Sales today for a reasonable fee Thanks for persevering Alamy!!
