meanderingemu Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) I just found an image usage by a Canadian firm, however the only licence i have of that image as been reported as US by Alamy.

1 Vincent Lowe Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I suppose it's possible that the Canadian company has used a US advertising agency and/or web designer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cecile Marion Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 That is a good point. My daughter’s US company does have a few Canadian clients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 John Mitchell Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 A lot of Canadian companies are owned -- partially or totally -- by US ones. That might have something to do with it. We're actually part of the G7.5, not the G8. 🤠 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of @Vincent Lowe that maybe to hired a US firm is plausible. I do wish Alamy would provide better information on licence if the expect us to do the Infringement finding.

Question
meanderingemu
I just found an image usage by a Canadian firm, however the only licence i have of that image as been reported as US by Alamy.
Before i report it, i wonder if it's just Alamy not knowing the difference.
i'm asking because the image is heavily cropped so it's a bit suspicious.
