Doug Houghton Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I have three questions. Does Alamy Use readly.com? On readly.com search Alamy comes up with over 130,000 results in all the magazines and newspapers. It would be a way to find our images and to clamp down on any infringers. Do people on this group use readly.com to look for their images? I have found more than 11 images using readly.com search, which has helped me to find several infringers, plus enabling me to update my DACS payback form. Do The Mirror, The Express, The Independent and The Evening Standard use Alamy pictures? The former two have joined readly.com in the last couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I understand the question. Do I? No. All the papers you have mentioned (and many more) have used/continue to use images from Alamy. I have a basic list with ISSN/ISBNs here, where I have also provided pre-filled Google search links and links to ISSNs, where known.

geogphotos Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Thanks I found quite a lot. But it took a long time to do it all. Some magazines such as BBC Wildlife, Yachting Monthly, Country Life + some others don't seem to have ISBN numbers - any ideas what to do about this?

The only search box I can see only allows to search by Magazine title, and searchs by photographer or alamy brought up nothing!

They know who has downloaded their images, and the usual infringers, so could easily check the magazines when issued. Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
