By curiosity I checked the porfolio of the feature photographer and was very surprise to see his RF pictures on Alamy ....with a L licence....
One example

It may be the same as the story as with Yuri. Maybe some site he/she is on has put them on Alamy.

I would be hesitant to call someone out publicly on this. Maybe a sitemail to the contributor would be a better way to handle it?

Okay i checked he is not exclusive at iStock but he should really change the L-license at Alamy and the exclusive status at FT and DT otherwise he is in trouble.

Exclusive DT series is on Alamy Licensed. http://tinyurl.com/6j9dww He's breaking the rules at many sites including Alamy. Does anyone rom DT or FT read these subjects.

See thats what Ive been saying all along. How can any agency ask for exclusivity with this going on and it happens all the time. Not surprised one bit.
One day some agency is going to get a really beefy law-suit and it wont hardly damage the contributor since its the agencies resposibility.

wow, this borders on all counts: scary, ridiculous , and hilarious.
but i wonder if there is a problem with language, although most sites have multi-languages. let's wait and see what the reason was.
has this person sold many? i'm almost too scared to look ! Shocked

You left out SS with all the same photos. http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtml?lang=en&searchterm=windsor&anyorall=all&search_cat=&search_group=all&orient=all&photographer_name=franck+camhi&searchtermx=&color=

This isn't a small mistake.

A hA! finally someone can be made an example of to show that this industry is serious about their rules. Up until now nothing has been really done in the spotlight to publicly humiliate those losers and set the tone for others (because there are probably others just the same)

When you enter a contract and cash is involved, it is your own responsibility to understand and respect the terms no matter what the language. Agreed that the whole thing is idiotic.

Sales on DT respectable, not stellar. That was the only site I looked at.

yep, I respect DT for such actions. They do the things they must do.

Anyone notified FT yet ? He's also exclusive there Grin

They can't do anything at SS.

I agree. They pay quickly. They are very good with their acceptances. I do get some weird rejections, but the agency itself being so cool do deal with makes it easier to just carry on.

Ouch for DT... how frustrating that would be to have your featured photog slam you like this! I would guess that they are now appreciative to the OP of this thread for pointing it out. I may be naive but I can't imagine many people would get away for long doing this. End users/designers would notice this as well.... (at least the ones that I deal with would) and report it.

Indeed, it is frustrating to find that the photographer you're just trying to promote has slammed you. it's a bitter taste and we do our best to keep it away from our perspective towards our honest members. Shouldn't be the last exclusive who is not really exclusive, we find a few more each week. They learn the hard way that monitoring is done and penalties are quite drastical.

I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for posting this here or for emailing us. It was you who found the infringement this time. Thank you!
