I was optimistic
Addict replied to Addict's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I am called the addict. So the addiction did get the best of me! I actually forgot i said that . I might drop the statement or just leave it at " unprofitable" . The temptation to add a few more shots then add a few more shots and then add a few more shots just gets the best of us. -
Last year i was optimistic that things turned around. I had 50 sales. But we are now half way thru 2018 and my sales are way way down and maybe no more for the year than in 2009. And yes, i keep uploading. I think that some of the other agencies have dropped their prices? Wondering if that is taking sales from alamy? I do know that AGE has dropped their prices a lot from this time last year.

Slow month?

Terrible sales for me since they have been making changes or is the market just going further into hell ? -
Many used by non editorial things or sites.

Over a year ago i reported many to alamy with no results or replies. I used their proper form when it came a available too. I find a lot of yanks off the daily news and used by others with nothing for me out of it.

Is it okay to use Pixsy to chase down copyright infringement of shots sold on alamy then copied off say daily news or something or internet and used illegally (no payment). I have a lot !

Protection?
Addict replied to Addict's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Yup - my intention for such images is editorial non commercial such that i specified no releases and i have no control over sales -

Advertising excluded i believe -
What protection does alamy offer us when they sell a rm shot of property with no releases for a marketing program when it clearly states no releases ?
