Broad Norfolk Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Bryan, I signed up for Novel Use many years ago. Your post made my look it up under My Alamy in the Additional Revenue Options. It's recorded me as having signed up to the option on 19th June, 2008. Seems like yesterday.....we don't get any younger!! Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I never signed up but I think I opted out when I realised you could. Mine is recorded as OUT, showing in red, as from 16th June 2008. Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultanpepa Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I opted out almost from the beginning however I've just checked and see I'm IN and I can't change that until April 2017. Not best pleased about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 In- one NU sale in 7 years- for 83¢- so not too bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Barnes Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm in. Had a few sales over the years for about $50 total. It's $50 I wouldn't have otherwise .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm in. Had a few sales over the years for about $50 total. It's $50 I wouldn't have otherwise .... It's maybe $150 that you could have had had you not been in, is another way of looking at it. Just saying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks for the responses people. A Google search finds previous discussion, generally not too positive, and an Alamy statement that it was being withdrawn, but the choice still remains under Additional Revenue Options. However, as a person in limbo, neither in nor out, there doesn't appear to be a mechanism to definitively say No until April next year. Will I remember next April, probably not.

Just saying! :-) . . . it is indeed one way of looking at it . . . but my accountant prefers a definite 50 over a maybe 150 any day dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I checked out of NU several years ago. I figure that if a customer really wants an image, Alamy will find a way of licensing it. They are pretty creative that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as a person in limbo, neither in nor out, there doesn't appear to be a mechanism to definitively say No until April next year. Will I remember next April, probably not. I've been trying to remember for years! Alrighty, we need to put it on our calendars. BIG letters. April 1st, again April 15. Maybe then we can opt out.

Perry Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 It should actually be possible to already activate it at least, to automatically opt out for the coming april. (But then in April I forgot, I automatically opt out ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
