Spark Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Good morning l have discovered a copy of my image used on a website. I am still waiting for a response from contributor relations. Can anyone advise if I am able to chase the infringement through small claims without Alamy, or do I have to involve Alamy as the image was “stolen” from their site? The image is only available through Alamy, and this is the only social media I use. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 AFAIK in general they only go after licence abuse. If it's been copied from a legitimate licensee they will leave it to you. In any case CR will advise if they have first dibsies. If they do and get nowhere they'll sign off on it and you can release the hounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 They won't be in the office until Monday but you should get a definitive reply from them on whether they authorised it so hang tight 'til then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly the response I got yesterday from Alamy re a similar situation for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
