"Completing this form will create an *opportunity* to be paid additional royalties."

It looks like they are attempting to collect money from a fund in France, but I feel like they're leaving something out...

Anyka:
It sounds a bit like the DACS payment we get every year from Alamy ?

Yeah, iStock collects DACs 'for us' (taking their percentage) too, no option to opt out to do it ourselves. I can't imagine how they do it with RF sales - are they really doing massive web searches and sorting out the few relevant ones?

They've missed out that completing the form would create and opportunity for them to get even more.
However, when I was concerned that they were collecting DACS, I checked and it's within the weasel wording of their contract, of course, not exactly spelled out.

That's it. See Collective Licensing Royalties on Getty's website.
