Marc2 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hi everybody, This license appears to be a new one on me and I wondered if many others had come across it: Country: Worldwide Usage: EditorialMedia: Editorial websitePlacement: Single PlacementImage Size: up to 1/2 screenStart: 01 February 2015 End: 01 February (one year. Forum won't accept twenty sixteen in numbers)In-Context Digital archival rights included in perpetuity. Right to syndicate the feature material in which the images appear via third party web properties when material is branded as per original use. As I understand it, this is a rights-managed image that is pretty much being given away as royalty free. I can't see how assigning the 'right to syndicate the feature material' helps Alamy's cause in the long run. It certainly doesn't help the photographer. It appears that the buyer can archive the images and syndicate the article for ever, long after I've gone to the other side, all for $50 of which I'll probably see £20 ish. It's not even worth getting the camera out for that... Please tell me I've mis-understood it. Have a good day! Marc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I had exactly the same sale show up yesterday and have had others like it in the past. I interpreted the terms the same way you did. However, I'm not sure what "when material is branded as per original use" might mean. Not sure what a "web property" is either -- a fancy name for a "website" perhaps (?). Many Alamy sales are now hybrid RM/RF like this one, an inevitable development IMO. That said, granting the right to syndicate does seem to take things a step further. However, the terms do refer to the whole feature, not the images alone, which softens the blow somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It's a daily paper, so yes, the print licence is for a day. Evening Standard or Telegraph, by the looks of it. I've certainly had those terms for an image in the ES- about $28 gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiduha Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thank you for your answer, it was for the guardian. The price was $ 16 (RM license) If you have been bought for one day, it's fine, that even today is on website online since January 3, 2015? I hope you understand. Is it OK? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Read the licence. It's in the paper and on the website. Quote: One use in a single editorial article used within print and /or web versions, with re-use of the article in other titles or web versions within the same newspaper group. Digital use includes archive rights for the lifetime of the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
