Tony Collins Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Do you ever "wonder" about some of the images bought for "private" use? ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did with an image of the interior of a Pret a Manger licenced for PU. Alma says it will pass it on to 'the infringement team' - I don't hold out much hope but you never know, pigs may fly.

Jill Morgan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 People also use these for university projects, no just for hanging on the wall. I believe that falls under personal use as well. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemson Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Personal Use licence or PU is a well rehearsed subject on these forums and one sure to raise the hackles of many contributors. Take the time to browse previous threads on the subject...Alamy have repeatedly said they will investigate any such usage if the contributor thinks the licence is not appropriate. Do raise it with them if you have a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Gaul Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 As Mirco and Jill say above there could be valid personal use reasons. However as we can probably never know about such usage or not my belief is that there should be a no refund policy for PU images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabbro Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I had another one of PU this morning, with a subject not exactly a "wall hanger". So someone paid $19.99 for a full res download. I have suggested Alamy to restrict the download resolution for PU, but I'm not sure it will ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a presentation use sale of ours being used on several websites. I was able to track down the user and give Alamy her details and she has been invoiced correctly. As an academic in a large institution who posts lots of images onto websites I can only assume she was gaming the system to get images cheaper.
