Exclusive Images, not all images. But still I welcome the efforts if it means more return for my efforts. Now I wonder how to check what images I have marked exclusive and if I missed any that got licensed years later, somewhere else?

It would have to be exclusive images only as trying to identify infringements of images held by other agencies would be impossible to police

There are many infringements with the watermark still on, beyond that it would be a struggle.

It kind of says that? They could have made it clear that they will be tracking EXCLUSIVE images and wanted permission. That's why it says, unless you sell on your own website. "This work will primarily be happening for the images in our collection marked as 'exclusive to Alamy'."
I can't see them chasing non-exclusive images at all, when it's a waste of time.
Lets say "some people" are putting Exclusive on everything to make more money, like twisted players in Microstock who will always try to cheat the system for a better commissions. This will also start showing their attempts to cheat the system. Alamy can't protect them and the non-exclusive images that are all over on other sites, will be exposed.
I said yes and I have honest exclusive images on Alamy. If they find infringing uses, I'm happy. Chances are I'll see nothing change, but it's nice to imagine that Alamy is on my side, somehow?
