KateR Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hi folks An image of mine appeared in the online edition of the FT a couple of days back. (The link is here, but it's firewalled so may not work, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to insert a screenshot here! https://www.ft.com/content/ace1dbe0-7ece-11e8-8e67-1e1a0846c475 ) The image in question has been licensed quite a few times, but never for anything saying "newspaper". One license says "single company multiple use, editorial only" but doesn't say who the company was. So, with the vagueness of the license detail, how can I know whether this usage was legitimate or not? Is it reasonable to report it to Alamy as a possible infringement and ask them to confirm whether they have a sale logged to the FT? Thanks, Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 If it was only used a few days ago it won't be reported for a couple of months. It will show as "editorial newspaper". Don't bother Alamy with it unless it's not appeared in 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you will be free to contact the user to claim payment (or any other further action) outside of Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateR Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Ok thanks - I'm sure the FT are doing things properly, so I'll keep an eye out for the next few months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
