SShep Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi Arthur, All Over Press Baltic are one of Alamy's distributors. There's a list here: http://tinyurl.com/jex3o2n although I'm not sure how up to date it is. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Now Vida Press, according to itself. I've had a recent distributor sale to Latvia. Presumably the same source. Only $11 gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Don't know nuthin' about that, but may I take the opportunity to say that you people up in Norway have been making some terrific films and TV series of late: Occupied, The Heavy Weather War, and Headhunters are just a few.

fotoDogue Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I noticed one of my photos on a site in Denmark credited to Alamy/All Over Press. So far the only distributor sale that's been reported for that image was for the Russian Federation. http://where2go.dk/new-york-tur-ad-broadway/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The webside article I found is from 2014... and the only licensed sale for this particular image that year was in August to Switzerland... time to send a infringement report to Alamy... http://tinyurl.com/jlwfohl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiraz got back to me today and said they'd have the Distributor Team look into if. If you haven't yet contacted Member Services this would be a good time to do so. fD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Adlercreutz Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 All Over Press is a picture agency owned by the publishing company Aller in Denmark. Business has not been too good recently and AOP in Sweden has been sold off to the competitor IBL. AOP in Sweden was an Alamy distributor but at one time also representing Getty.

ArthurGebuysPhotography Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 I got a reply from MS today stating:"We've just heard back from our Distribution team and the usage of your image AR7T92 will be billed in March." We are talking about an image used in febr. 2014 here... so nice that they, after some encouragement from my side, now are willing to pay what they owe next month, more then 2 years after the fact... will be excited to see how much I will earn on this use... maybe $ 1,50. Not negative, just a realist! Not liking much the this business is developing... I think I have found 5 none paid for images this last year. And this is not infringements, this is images obtained via among others Alamy, that are not paid for by the distrutor or direct client...

ArthurGebuysPhotography Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 And so I got paid for this use... I will end up with a grand total of... $1.60 The disturbing part though is that I needed to chase this (third party) sale myself, and that they now gave out a 1 year licence from the first of Febr this year for an image that has been used since February 2014... Can somebody by the way explain me how this works...Start: 01 February 2016End: 01 February 2021Duration: 1 yearHow can a license have a duration of one year.. start in 2016 and end in 2021??? Mmm, it is a good thing that for me this is just a hobby... but I can see how this is really frustrating if you try to make a living out of this sh!t!Happy Easter people, ;-DArthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
