Gordon Scammell Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 OK. I'm happy to help students and see them licence images for as low as $1. What I am not happy about is licensing an image to a student for $1 IN PERPETUITY. This is plainly wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Clemson Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Is it because an image used in something like a dissertation would need to be available in perpetuity? I believe such academic documents are publicly accessible long after the student has graduated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is skewed too much to the student. Make it $20 or £$15 at least. For me to get that particular image meant an hour driving to London, £15 for parking, a long and awkward crawl dragging tripod and camera gear through a tunnel, a 4 hour wait, a return through the tunnel, and an hour long drive home. For $1? Pfft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Standfast Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Gordon, I agree that this feels like a liberty. Supporting students is part of the Alamy ethos but I would like to have the choice of opting in or out of this sort of discounted, sale much like we can for NU.
