Alamy way of calculation commission is realty creative
When they sell through distributor,
distributor gets 40% and Alamy 30%, so you left with 30%.
In usual distribution business of normal goods you usually get % of whatever money you delivered to next entity in the food chain, not form end price.
They really should charge 30% not from original price, but from whatever was left after distributor got paid.
so in more fair world it should be 40%*30% = 12% of original price and our cut should be 100%- 40%-12% = 48%.
almost 1.5 times higher
