(1/6) > >>

Dakota:
An Alamy Photographer has taken a photograph of a famous Nadav Kander portrait of David Lynch at an exhibition and it has been licensed to the Big Issue through Alamy.

I'd advise the photographer that made this silly mistake to call him ASAP and apologise before he sues you!

Dakota:
Your weak apology to blame your wife went down like a house on fire. Take responsibility!

Does anyone know the photographer I heard it was "David Crausby"?

Only way to resolve this is to pay the requested charity promptly. You might not be aware but Nadav Kander is extremely wealthy and powerful and could sue you for a lot of money.

ShadySue:
The Big Issue cropped a photo which was on Alamy of a photo in a frame at an exhibition, which had some context and a window shadow. They have now accepted full responsibility.

Note that cropping an editorial photo to remove context is against Alamy's rules:

For clarity, this second insta post refers to an incidence of (apparently) the same photo being used in Rolling Stone Italy.
You can see it by googling 'rolling stone italia David Lynch' and checking the pic. It's the third photo and the window shadow can clearly be seen. The pic may have been cropped in, it looks that way on the Google search pic.

Dakota:
The problem is Nadav is threatening litigation and he has a lot of money to hire a top London Attorney.

I would not want to spend thousands of $$$$$ defending myself in court. What if the court ruled against me?

Lose my house? Be declared bankrupt!

The apology given was very weak which infuriated Kander even more.

Now he has to pay up to a charity. What next if he doesn't pay? Go to court! Risk losing a lot. It's a gamble I would not want to risk.
