Marianne Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 On 04/04/2023 at 17:24, Michael Ventura said:  Yes, it shows as invoiced and cleared  I have a $250 infringement from January still uncleared. It's for a book that was released last June and had several Alamy images, which I brought to Alamy's attention, so I expect them to continue to follow through. They told me that it should be paid this month - well, not exactly, more like to expect it to clear by this month because it can take "up to 4 months to clear."  The Good: With that sale included, I've made more than all of 2022 - without it, I'm still ahead of this time last year but my earnings to date will be far less a "good thing." You'd think they'd follow up on infringements a lot sooner. It's an image that's exclusive to Alamy, and one they've noted as an infringement, so I can't take any action to follow up myself.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this one will stick. 🤞  I've already had a few mediocre sales (four low $$ and one $) reported this month. The good news is that they can add up to something worthwhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 A good $$$ sale this morning, which almost doubles my takings for the month. 🙂 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I got a surprise this morning too. One sale for $574/230 of a lovely English castle. That was tempered with another e-mail from HMRC saying that I need to file an income tax form for DACS income (I'm Canadian; no regard for the tax treaty). I can't seem to stop HMRC. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Tucker Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Interesting, just got a $384 sale but can you explain "In perpetuity Infringement"? Does this mean they are still chasing or it has been settled and the image can now be used by the infringer In perpetuity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the current climate $384 is likely a fair settlement and now legal usage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Valentia Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 3 sales this morning (end of May accounting I expect). $$$, $$, and a $. So a bit all-over-the-place, making it difficult to gauge if there's a real upward trend in fees. I'll be taking some of the time allotted to my 'prize' consultation with James A (see another thread), to ask about fees generally and see how my sales can be improved. I'm arrogant enough (after 45 years of professional photography work) to assume it's not the quality of my photography that is keeping my sales in the doldrums, generally. I might raise the dreaded A word. Algor...That's enough of that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
