ArthurGebuysPhotography Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 In 2007 I Alamy licenced one of my (bird) images for the use in an almanac on birdlife... So far so good. The licence however was isued in 2007 with a license period from Start: 31 August 2007 to End: 31 August 2010. Recently I found the image being use in a book (apparently the same book, but reprint/rerun). I asked Alamy MS about it and they said that it falls under the license from 2007... the funny thing though is that that license was issued until august 2010 and the book we are talking about did not hit the shelfs before 2011... Am I being ridiculous in thinking that this should have been a new license or...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Y Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hello, I believe that since the picture was lincensed in 2007 and they copyrighted the book, that picture will be legally theres to use until the copyright expires. And was the pictures Rights Manged or Royalty Free? Hope this helps, Jacob Y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alamy apparently thinks differently, but if they're right, what are the dates for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the image was RM, like all my images at Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
