Thyrsis Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Edited my first post to add more details. The sales are all identical except different countries! (We are opted out of both Slovenia and Czech Republic.) Seems dodgy to me! Unless Alamy can explain this satisfactorily I’m opting out of all distribution before the end of April.

wiskerke Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 mine: I don't see a problem: it's just a bulk discount. It's not even sure if it's to Slovenia, Slovakia or Czech Republic (mine). The country is only in the online Sales history, not in the downloaded Net revenue sales report. My guess is that they have a sort of newspaper scheme like Alamy has in the UK. If you don't like the money, just opt out of the distributor. I did once track an image that had been licensed through them and found out it had been used at least 4 or 5 times. Alamy chased it and got a couple of licenses more out of it. This was to one of the former Yugoslav countries. Why not check all your sales to the countries that this distributor services? Just go to your Sales history and set the time period to all. I only checked for the Czech Republic so far, because I stopped my search when I saw a $ 265.00 (gross) sale for a cover of a detective novel. So I will stay in. Not just for that cover, because as I have said before: I will still stoop for a dime and run for a dollar. I also really liked the cover btw and the image only sold once. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 My two for $0.97 net to me were for Serbia. Not quite a dollar, so I won't be running for this one.😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 "Czech Republic, Editorial, Editorial, Website, Bulk discount, flat rate per image Not enough for a stale donut." I've opted out of Czech Republic sales. Everyone else should do the same. Maybe market forces will eventually start to work. Didn't know about Slovenia and Serbia. If similarly low prices are being given those two countries I'll opt out of them too. But Alamy seems to have missed the creation of the country of Serbia; it isn't in the list. Nice to know we can still opt out of the country of Yugoslavia. Is Alamy in the news business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alamy’s response: “This was a sale through our distribution scheme so we don’t know the exact use but it’s most likely being used in a Slovakian newspaper which is also printed and available online.” I’ve asked for further clarification as I would have thought the usage should specify newspaper usage.

Looks like a food website but there is also a printed magazine. Several other possible Alamy images but none with credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
