Title: need help and advice
Post by: GoncaloF on November 03, 2014, 11:45
i fund one of my images in a cover of a book at amazon ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pastoral-Helmsmanship-Pastors-Church-Administration/dp/1500581151/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1415032926&sr=1-1 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pastoral-Helmsmanship-Pastors-Church-Administration/dp/1500581151/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1415032926&sr=1-1) ) but i didn't sell any EL, so this image are being used illegally right? 


how i can solve this situation?

It's probably fine, this is what you are licensing your images to be used for.

They aren't reselling your image as a product, they are selling their book with your image on it.  Print run would be relevant but that depends where they licensed it from but there is no chance this book is selling 100,000s copies.

No, tickstock's right: on most (all?) sites book covers don't need ELs (unless the print run from the book is over a certain number, different on different sites, normally 250,000 or 500,000).
You could check the terms of all sites you sold that file on, but this question has come up several times, and I haven't seen mention of any RF sites that require ELs for book covers (I've had a few book covers myself, no ELs).
If you were selling RM, a book cover would typically earn you more than an image used inside.
