I pretty much stopped uploading images after the first cut to 40% but every now and again I have doubts if I did the right thing. Posts like this reaffirm me that it was indeed a good decision. Things will not get any better. I am sticking with occasional live news.

Thank you Nigel

Thank you everyone for your tips. A really useful information here.

Would they really be keen on supporting direct competition?

Great tip, thank you

I am not familiar with the Reportage route. What is this if you don't mind? I usually cover the news event and upload to live news within minutes using mobile phone. Why would this not be suitable for non-UK based media?

I could not agree with you more. I was not aware that the 60% also applies to news images, until I got a painful surprise looking at the account balance 😕 I am re-evaluating the options, but still would like to find out what everyone uses. Thank you

Hi, I occasionally contribute to local news over the last few years, but most of it on the basis on me being in the right place by coincident. Rarely have I actually planned to be in a place where a newsworthy event was happening. I would like to change this and plan more visits to newsworthy public events. Can you tell me what sources of information you use to find out what newsworthy (protests, grand openings, emergency responses etc) is going to be happening in your area? Thank you

Thank you all for responses. I got the trial subscription and you were right, only one link shown the image and the remaining 4 just contain a link to the other article. Makes me think what he other sale was. Considering the price of $$$ I think it may have been for print. I guess none of you have the print paper from 3-4 June?

Hi, Recently I got two sales for an image with licence details as follows: Image: 2G06D47 Country: United KingdomUsage: EditorialMedia: Newspaper - nationalPrint run: up to 2 millionPlacement: Inside and onlineImage Size: 1/2 pageStart: 03 June 2021End: 04 June 2021Any placement in paper and online. One use in a single editorial article used within the print and digital versions of a single publication. Digital usage includes archive rights for the lifetime of the article. The other sale details are identical but Start / End dates are 02 June and 03 June 2021. When ran via Google search it returns five articles within the same paper. Four are within the specified dates, but one is 19 June. Therefore my two questions: 1) Since the details specify "One use in a single editorial article used within the print and digital versions of a single publication" does that mean that the two licenses cover only two articles, and the remaining 3 which I found should be additional? 2) Since the two licenses do not cover 19 June, should this one be additional, or is there a chance that the date on the article is the latest update and the article was actually published within the dates? 3) Would someone be kind enough to check for me if these images actually show up within the all five Times articles listed by google? Thank you

Thank you John!

Yet another cut in commission for us. Pathetic ALAMY. Pathetic.

Iain, just a question out of interest. Did you have to make sure that the cladding photographed in the hazardous one, or this is a generic building to illustrate the story? Thank you

This is getting really frustrating. Few times already in last few months i am getting a Personal Use sale, which is being refunded few days later. This being for personal use, presentations etc. there is no way for me / or Alamy to track its usage, making it extremely easy for dishonest ones to abuse the system. Country: WorldwideUsage: Presentation or newsletters, Use in a presentation/talk (eg,Powerpoint and Keynote) or in a newsletter.Start: 05 January 2021End: 05 January 2026 Sale refunded - Original sale date (21 January 2021) Did any of you experienced similar?
