I got both emails. Maybe you have disabled them in your settings at Alamy (if there is such setting...)
Today there was a new post about RM imge sin the license scheme:
http://www.alamy.com/Blog/contributor/archive/2009/03/20/4611.aspxIn response to some of the comments received, we wanted to make our position clear on Rights Managed (L or RP) images. A newspaper downloading a Rights Managed image will only be able to use the image once.
We are not proposing that we turn RM images into RF images. This will be clear in the terms agreed with our newspaper customers. As we are only talking about a very small number of customers this will be a face to face negotiation and the terms of the agreement will be understood.
If a customer wishes to use an RM image in June that they downloaded and first used in May they will simply have to download the image again or alternatively Alamy will add a download to their June total.
A bit confusing to manage, since the newspaper will be downloading both RF and RM images as subs - who will control if the image is used more than once?
Payment conditions remain a mystery also, so my tendency is to opt out.
