York Photographer Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The York Press (which is one of their papers) has been doing this for a couple of years, They pinched a friend of mine's picture from her Twitter page (non Photographer), I told her how to chase it, and how much to ask for an unauthorised use, they responded by offering 30 quid. Pretty good business model, nick content, sell adverts around it, and then offer a derisory amount on the odd occasion you get challenged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult for a non-photographer to justify a high price when you don't have a sales record. You or I would be putting a nought on that for starters.

John Walker Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm probably missing something here but how does a site like Pixabay obtain images that are royalty free? I can't understand where they come from or who would offer their images free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people would jump at 30 quid and getting their picture in the paper, I told her to invoice them for the full alamy calculator rate plus 100% for unauthorised useage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
