pierre rochon 48 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) After sending a request about an unauthorized usage of one of my Alamy pics, I received this answer from member services: "We’ve just noticed that this usage is outside our territories in which we can chase." The picture is appearing on the website of a "virtual shopping mall" based in India. Is it worth chasing or will I only be losing my time doing it?

losdemas 1,975 Posted January 13, 2016 More than likely wasting your time. Very unlikely to see any financial recompense, whatever the result. Having said that, I have sent out notices to Indian travel Websites before. Most were ignored, but one apologised profusely and removed the photo immediately.

Philip Game 39 Posted January 17, 2016 One of my images has just appeared on a Finnish-language website, attributed to [My Name]/MVPHOTOS. MVPHOTOS appears to be the Finnish arm of a Czech-based photo library called Profimedia. Has anyone else Does anyone know if these companies are legitimate associates of Alamy? Thanks.
