"Royalty-free" and "Editorial Royalty-free"?

[Peter P]

Hi All,

I've just had a "royalty-free" sale for a whopping $1.31 (I know, don't spend it all in one place).

Also this month I've had a couple of "editorial royalty-free" sales for $10 each.

These latter "editorial royalty-free" images were for "non commercial, one time, personal/home use" use.  Doesn't sound editorial to me.

The "royalty-free" sale was a larger image and is stated for editorial use on web sites etc.  I've seen the image online.

Any idea why this royalty free sale, an explicitly editorial sale to a business, should sell to a news site for less (a lot less!) than a personal home use image?  Seems the wrong way around to me.

Thanks,

Peter P.
