Here it is: "This is part of our new simplified popular pricing licenses that we have been testing with market addressable customers. These have proven very successful for both customers and contributors. Customers are entitled to use the image in each of the mentioned uses but from our experience, customers do have a specific use in mind and won't be using it in each area, it simply makes things a lot easier and simpler for customers looking to license images on an ad hoc basis." "market accessible customers"!!! Essentially, it's a way of selling content we have chosen to be RM as near-RF. And making it harder for us to identify misuses. In my case, that licence was for a low price. The thing is that with saying they can use files once for each type of usage doesn't make things much easier for the client, as they should still keep records so that someone else in the company doesn't use it again for the same type of use.

Starsphinx Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I would question what their definition of successful for contributors means as I have yet to see a contributor anything other than annoyed at these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. This type of smorgasbord license doesn't sound like a bad idea to me these days. I just wish that the pricing was higher given the number of options, although wim seems to have done well with one of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average is 44.15 so far, but that's counting everything, today's single 6.97 included. I'm not seeing a huge drop in fees. For the rest: google Lingchi. Maybe not in Google Images. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan_Andison Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 RM Landscape image Country: Worldwide ; Usage: Editorial ; Media: Editorial website ; Print run: up to 2 million ; Placement: Inside and online ; Start: 03-February-2019 ; End: 03-February-2024 ; Additional Details: One use in a single editorial article used within the digital versions of a single publication. Digital usage includes archive rights for the lifetime of the article. All for single single digits licence fee, not enough to even get the hot water for the tea! Really Alamy!!! In this instance, microstock would have been better. Edit. And...the image is 7514 x 3243 px in size... round of applause to the genius who thought that was a good idea!

Fully understand your annoyance and frustration. +The ability to download full size images for web/personal/presentation, etc. use should have ceased long ago.

mickfly Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I have all my images PU restricted so would I be right in thinking that this licence couldn't be offered for one of my pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
