Yuri Arcurs selling same photos RF and licensed.
AVAVA:
Hi Sharpshoot,
Thanks for pointing that out. I saw the same thing as soon as I looked at the posts. Yuri is not to blame. However I was thinking about making dart boards with Yuri's face on them. ;D Who wants to put in an early order, if I hurry I can add it to my Sarah Palin punching bag orders.
Hey folks, the guy is just making a living and he probably follows the legal concerns of this industry a lot closer than most of us. He has far more to lose if he screws up. Yuri gives a lot to this community and I tip my hat to him for building a better mouse trap. ( american term for figuring out how to make something better that already exists ).
Peace,
AVAVA

Pssst.... sure you can. You just can't sell exclusivity or history data with the image.

To the OP, guess it pays to keep a tighter reign on what you're putting out there.

You may right in general but Alamy doesn't allow it, they have always been absolutely clear about this policy.

It must be so clear as to be transparent on their "How to choose a license type" page:

Hi Sean,
I don't think Getty will take it. I don't think Corbis will take it. Now that Veer is Corbis I don't know another serious RM company in the marketplace ( Alamy, but you know... ). If anyone here knows an agency that will allow this practice please share their names. I would love to get more information on this topic. Thanks for pointing this out SJ, I was not aware there are agencies offering this option. That kind of info is super helpful. By the way Sean's blog on Stock business models RM vs. RF and their differences is spot on and easy to understand.
Best,
AVAVA
