Shutterstock (and other sites) have broader license that sell for 22 cents, so it's not clear what "too low" means given the current market.

Alamy's days as a higher end, RM and RF agency are long behind it and they're selling microstock-priced licenses these days. I haven't had anything that low there, but I know I've heard others complain of this type of under $1 license, so it's not unprecedented.

I've had several "under a buck" sales.  Very hard pill to swallow with such strong, broad licenses.  I still get 3-5 decent sales a month ($25-$150 per sale) but that is mixed with cheap-seat sales as well.  I have about 5k images there.

Even if images are placed under Rights Managed, Alamy is allowing lots of freedom to the buyer. Wonder if these "In perpetuity" licenses mean Alamy is going to ditch Rights Managed altogether?

That was one of several questions which I emailled to the MD at the time of this year's contract change. It was the only one she did not address.
