Hanna_Fate Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 3 hours ago, riccarbi said: We have also to consider that Alamy is owned, through PA Media, by some of UK's biggest media companies, I doubt this is a coincidence. By buying Alamy such companies also got access to an almost unlimited source of images at (extremely) discounted rates. About the disgruntled contributor base, I suspect that many of those contributors would be happy to see their photos featured on a "famous" newspaper even if they won't get a single penny for the "honour". Only if my name is nice and big as the photographer. Otherwise, they can pay up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) I just got a $0 sale. They all start out the photographer's best friend and end up selling you down the river. Edited July 23, 2022 by Marb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian, you really do not have to take any more of it. You have been moaning about the same thing for a decade ( it seems). Contributing to Alamy is no longer compulsory. 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you condone giving our images away free ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you gone beyond your dashboard to see the licence details? I doubt very much that it was actually zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would laugh and say that a credit line doesn't put food on the table or put a roof over my head. Now were are not even guaranteed that.

Sorry but not caring about the truth has lead to some pretty dire situation around the world today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
