spacecadet Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 But they're making a lot more profit than us already. I have no idea if Alamy is making a profit. https://www.duedil.com/company/03807789/alamy-limited/financials No, no email, just the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyAppleRed Images Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I've checked my records and no emails sent previously but I do have physical copies of the statements for the first two years I claimed, so they must be sending them out in due course.

Paulstw Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I guess its for infringer's of images that came from Alamy sales. Surely there's a limit to what can be checked for? I don't watch TV so I guess I'll be losing out if someone has used my stuff. no..... km Thanks Keith. I am now better informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmot Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I wondered why my business account was looking so good today! Just got £345 from DACS paid in yesterday! That is awesome. Glad I filled in the form all on my ownsome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSnapper Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Information on what DACS is, what it covers, how you qualify and how to make an application has been shared here for at least the last 6 months...and there's always their own website... its not a secret nor is it rocket science km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulstw Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 nor is it rocket science Where I come from, when you use that term, it's quite insulting and insinuates that you are speaking to someone stupid.

P Casolino Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hi, can anyone tell me how much they got paid per image instance (approximately)? I am in USA and they said I had over 300 usages... Any thoughts? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 It's banded, so not per image, and the minimum payment is £25. It also depends how much money there is in the pot and how many claims. Last year I got about £38 for about 9 uses, this year £62 for about 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Casolino Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thank you Space Cadet! I let Alamy take care of it on my behalf, so whatever I get will be cut in half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyrsis Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 My question pertains to Royalty Free. How are we to know if a RF sale is World-wide or sold in Britain when Alamy doesn't provide us that information. Would it benefit one to have Alamy make the claim based upon their knowledge of the RF sales? Alamy does provide that information! If you download your net revenue to an excel file (making sure all the categories including region are ticked) the right hand column tells you the region.

spacecadet Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The region, yes, but not the type of publication so you don't know if it's covered by DACS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyrsis Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The region, yes, but not the type of publication so you don't know if it's covered by DACS.

Up to DPS, inside.One time use only ; 41.17 -20.58 20.59 UK Out of my 94 DACS eligible images, about 15 were RM, the rest RF. Among RF, about 9 had RM-type information, as above. That leaves about 70 RF images which I can't identify as being for books or magazines among the 200 or so images sold in the UK. So it helps a bit. But full disclosure would be better. Other agencies generously provide this information. Why not Alamy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reimar Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The problem Thyrsis, is that "all the available data" for most RF images is of no help for DACS. Region of sale and usage region is not enough for DACS. They need to know the usage was for books or magazines - information Alamy does not provide (except in those rare cases with RM-like info, mostly iQ sales).

famousbelgian Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Just been paid by DACS for the first time (I applied direct to them, not via Alamy), £185 payment, nice surprise!
