losdemas Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Sorry: this is probably getting a little boring now, (I know that many have had similar licenses) but...how can this unlimited use, unlimited duration license be defined as RM?

Brian Yarvin Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I was unaware that "RM" has some sort of official and industry-wide definition. Am I wrong about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losdemas Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 I was unaware that "RM" has some sort of official and industry-wide definition. Am I wrong about this? No. Alamy have their definition. Perhaps I wasn't being too clear. The image concerned falls under their default definition of RM, as it is of a well-known building with no property release and I have therefore set it as such. The license however seems to fall under their definition of RF: "[an] image with no restrictions on how they use it, or how long they use it for" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Alamy's RM/RF "hybrid" licensing model -- i.e. neither totally one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariaJ Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Sorry: this is probably getting a little boring now, (I know that many have had similar licenses) but...how can this unlimited use, unlimited duration license be defined as RM? Country: Worldwide Usage: iQ sale: Single company - multiple use editorial only Industry sector: Media, design & publishing Start: 24 June 2016 Duration: Unlimited for duration of licence I had two of these sales with the same description as above show up last week. I was a bit confused by the description as I thought RM by definition wasn't for multiple uses for an unlimited duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MircoV Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think it is a timely solution to replace editorial RF. Maybe this dissspears on the moment editorial rf is introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I had one of those last week too. I was a bit confused by the wording but consoled by the fact that at least it was a better price than many have been this month (still not enough though IMO).

John Mitchell Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 They seem to make the rules up as they go along to fit in with whatever the client demands. Geoff. I'd say that is definitely the case. I don't think that Alamy has much choice in the matter these days. At least these flexible "hybrid" sales are keeping some semblance of the RM licensing model alive. It does make for some pretty confusing licensing terms, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
