0 Vincent Lowe Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I'm not sure I understand. I assume it's this image - M62PJW, credited to PicoCreek. You say you found the image in his/her portfolio and reported it to Alamy. So are you saying that this image is in fact yours and that it is PicoCreek who is infringing copyright?

0 geogphotos Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Alamy is simply informing you of the reality. You have no chance of chasing infringements in the majority of the world's countries. When I get my Pixsy matches I just go through and click 'Ignore' on the majority because they are in jurisdictions beyond copyright. It's just the way the world is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised that even Ireland wasn't covered. Limiting distribution won't stop thieves. They just take screengrabs of anything that they want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
Pekka Liukkonen
I reported a potential infringement to Alamy.
I found one image of mine at:
https://rumahmigran.com/2020/01/24/mengirim-uang-dari-luar-negeri-ke-indonesia-itu-mudah/
It´s the photo of North Korean bank notes
Got a reply that they cannot or will not do anything. They only chase infringements in
UK
US
Canada
Europe
Australia
India
So what can I do...
