Downloaded by whom , from where, and for what? Anybody know? Anybody had 400 downloads or similar? 42 downloads suggests the potential for volume. It seems to be RF only.

MariaJ Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Yeah, I got one of the teeny tiny ones as well, lowest sale ever. A nice image of the Canadian flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie in nyc Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Waiting 3 months for a sale to clear . . . I finally get my $0.08 . . . it's thrilling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VbFolly Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I had a couple of these, both for RF nature images. There's no further information from the sales report this morning, just that it is ROW (rest of world). I've emailed contributor relations asking which country it was. For now, I've changed all my Alamy exclusive RF photos (I only had a few hundred RF images) to RM, and will be opting out of most distributors on 1st April. Hopefully that will greatly reduce these tiny sales. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanderingemu Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Just saw a list of someone else affected images and am curious if others can share their experience, other than RF were there common characteristics to the images licenced, like "No People, No Property?"

I really wish Alamy provided more information for us to make decisions, in the end if can only help them since even the decent distributors would miss on your image.

Reimar Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Hold the presses... I just got 17 more sales like this. For some sales, details show they were downloaded TWO times for a grand total of 6 cents to me. Yahoo! A few even had 3 downloads for an 8 cent sale to me. Not the way I was hoping to make 73 cents. edit: sorry I missed this whole page of news. Mine were all RF and to ROW.

Hanna_Fate Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 More 3 cent sales today. Alamy says I can opt out of "novel use" in April. I'm opting out first thing Friday, and if there is one more of these insults, I'll load up the lawyerpult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alamy said two months ago when this happened that they would investigate. But nothing came out of it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VbFolly Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Alamy have confirmed by Email that the 12 cent sales were via a distributor based in China. I'll definitely be opting out of distribution in China (and Russia) as well as novel use. Hopefully this will reduce the number of tiny sales eventually, though I realise it takes some months to take effect. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
