Looks good, can't find any of my images on Alamy anymore other than those under my regular Alamy pseudo...

I don't see my Veer images there any more either. So that's good.

Aren't we still waiting for some word on the compensation model for partner agencies (like pocketstock.com.mx) and some policy on opting out of partnerships like the Veer/Alamy one?

We've confirmed with our contacts at Alamy that all Veer content has indeed now been pulled. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks,

While I would have preferred more communication and faster action, the fact that you did come on here and say you would remove them and then later they were removed was good.

Thank you!  I really didn't want to leave Veer.

A good result. Hopefully some important lessons learned....

Brian, thank you very much for making this happen.  Veer's listening to contributors on this has gone a long way in my view.  :)

What worries me more is that we never got a clear explaination on what royalities we were going to make for a sale on alamy. This makes me think I was going to get 5% or something like that of the sale price. (i.e same royality as selling on Veer)

Surely it would have been in Veers interest to make an opt in / opt out type of thing as some contributors don't have an alamy portfolio. Makes it seem like they've been caught out and have made a hasty back peddle with the threat of losing their major contributors

I have been away so only just come upon this thread.  While it is good to see the Alamy matter being addressed, Brian has not answered other concerns re Pocketstock etc.  I have now found all my Veer images on Pocketstock.mx  Can you tell me what my commission is from any sales I have there, how I can track my sales there and will I be given the opportunity to decide not to sell there?

When I sell through CanStocks partners for example, I can see the sale commission clearly marked as 'distribution sale'.  These are often very welcome as they can be for $20-30 per sale, more than I make in six months regular sales at Canstock.  I don't mind if it is going to make me more money, but it needs to be transparent please.
