mickfly Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I had a sale show up today from Serbia, but, will it become an orphan? http://www.b92.net/info/vesti/index.php?yyyy=2016&mm=01&dd=21&nav_category=12&nav_id=1087778Changes to image rights in serbia and loss of copyright. The sale was s a distributor one of very little value, but if it becomes an orphan in Serbia it won't be worth anything!Am I reading the article properly? There is a petition started here... Translates quite well with Google translate. http://www.peticije24.com/fotografija_jeste_autorsko_delo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I had a handful of sales to Serbian websites yesterday, all for pitiful amounts. I think opting out of Serbian distribution might be a good move - even if that legislation doesn't go through it's hardly going to cause a major loss of revenue. I would like to think that if a country did pass such a law that Alamy would stop selling there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoM1ke Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Looks like an interpretation of the law too (relying on Google Translate... ho hum) which I presume means that it will be retrospective too. i.e. it was the law, you just didn't realise it. Needs an international copyright lawyer to have a proper look too - the knock-on effects could be pretty dire. I presume that Alamy are on top of this?
