stipe Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Today, a few sales pop up into my account, including this photo sold to The Guardian. Thanks to Google Images I found who purchased it and where it was published: The Guardian. I checked the page, clicked then on the image and the same one opened in a new page at high resolution. Obviously, without any watermark. This photo is now available for everyone at no any cost. Is it legal? And what's the need to allow a total useless chance of enlarge an image? http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/jun/05/japan-changing-food-tastes-rice-sake http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/jun/05/japan-changing-food-tastes-rice-sake#img-1 Stefano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 That's the downside of having stuff published in online newspapers. On the plus side, if it does get copied you may make more money infringements than from the original sale. Alamy are currently looking into about 30 infringements of an image of mine that was published in the Telegraph online. I got peanuts for the original sale but if one or two of the infringers pay up, I could get a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
