CAROL SAUNDERS Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I've just found one of my images being used but it hasn't shown up in my sales. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/why-the-world-still-needs-the-simple-pleasures-of-the-honda-super-cub/ar-AAKjlK6#comments It seems it was used 4 days ago What to do, it hasn't happened to me before, well not that I know of anyway ?

RyanU Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hi Carol. This is usual as as newspapers tend to report their usages all in one go at the end of the month (or whatever is in their contract). You probably won't see this show up for at least a month... They can take up to three months to show up in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again, I won't stress too much but will make a note of it.... Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK just checked and yes Africa is on my list, I don't have all the countries just a few - I didn't realise they could download them for free or am I missing something ?

Michael Ventura Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Carol, I have three recent uses I found and have not shown up in my sales yet. Alamy says I must wait three months from use before reporting it to them. A bit frustrating since I have to keep track of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I find these I put a note in my diary 3 months on and check, if not reported e mail goes out and note moves on a month, as sometimes I've had to chase again, and last week even sent a 5 month reminder as an image is still not reported!

VbFolly Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I had an unreported use in The Guardian Print in January. I reported it as un unauthorised use earlier this month, and it came in as a sale yesterday, but only for web use, so for a lower price than it should have been. It's difficult to find the enthusiasm to keep chasing these infringements at the moment, especially as they are usually only worth a couple of dollars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't this now qualify as misuse and should be handled by the infringement team, not that accounting "they forgot to report" team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue is if Honda had an issue with their name being used, this opens up all the debate we have been having on the new contract on where the liability is. I do have a feeling this is quite frequent. I many times see images used to illustrate stuff not include in description, even with "Editorial only" restriction.

OK many thanks for that, I guess if they buy an image they can caption how they like. Good advertising for Honda I guess😉 Anyway I've emailed Alamy about the unreported sale and received an automated response, I have diarised it anyway. Thanks all for your help again.....
