Re: Distribution

 

OUT:

Bosnia-Herzegovina*

Bulgaria*

Czech Republic*

Hungary*

Macedonia*
Slovakia*
Slovenia*
Yugoslavia (assuming this includes Serbia-Montenegro and Kosovo?)*

-
Estonia

Latvia

Lithuania

Turkey

 

 

*Note: AFIAK these are PROFIMEDIA countries. The worst distributor out there; I wish Alamy would drop them completely and I would consider keeping a few of those countries.

Thanks for that.

Just opted out of Novel Use.  The relief... 👍

I opted out of Novel use at the beginning of April (thanks to your reminder!) but just had three NU Sales pop up for $1++ in perpetuity! Does anyone know if the opt-out starts from the day you opt-out or is it from the beginning of next month? I'm feeling a bit peeved! ($1++ in perpetuity!), should I be?

Wow, you need to email Alamy.  That's bad, but not unsurprising.

Hi Jansos

 

The images could have been downloaded by the customer before April, whilst the images were still available for NU. Any images downloaded from the date you opted out can not be sold under the NU licence. We recommend emailing contributors@alamy.com if you spot any further NU licences on your sales report. 

 

Thanks

What to do about Distribution - out completely or just some territories?

 

I just opted out of everything except Japan, so its just Alamy and whoever does Japanese distribution now for me. 

 

I kept Japan because they seem to have a very active book publishing market that pays OK prices.

I also opted out of NU.

Im staying in. I thought Alamy had been pretty fair as far as the 50% exclusive deal so NU is just part of the swings and roundabouts  for me.

 

Cheers and gone

Thanks for the clarification. :-)

My personal feeling is that I hate PU! And I'm not in the NU or UK Newspaper deal or with most of the distributors.
