Symbiostock Needs its Own Licensing System

<< < (2/7) > >>

Travelling-light:
We aren't uninterested, but have thought about this, and decided that we prefer to do RF only on Sym.
The reason for this is - our experience on Photoshelter.
We have had no luck in selling RM, so have decided to leave that to the agencies who have experience and also customers.
We think the majority of our sales will come from Google and be individuals rather than companies, many of them don't even know what a licence is. RF keeps it simple.
The one thing that could change that is PicturEngine - will wait and see on that.

farbled:
Gotta agree, although for me it's because I'm already selling or have sold my existing images as RF at other agencies. I don't think my work would generate much if anything as RM.

exactly -- that's why I make my version of royalty free pretty liberal, and don't even mention RM -- those who want it have emailed me & we've worked it out case by case.

I would be quite happy to include a hybrid type licence

If a client is willing to pay £xxx I will remove it from sale for x weeks/months/years
If they want to use it for more than x number of sales they pay extra
If they want to use it for z they pay the fee shown

I am planning to try and  have a lot of my images only selling via my own site which will make this easier than if they are listed everywhere and competing against each other, and ultimately I think it might lead to Symbiostock's success ?

And this need some effort, a license for those things can't fit easily the needs of all. I'm thinking about the license and I'm not sure how to set up the things. I think that sort of chance must be clear for customer; they must know that they buy from the copyright owner that can help them to get what they want. People must know because for them is better a network curate by author instead of agency, so maybe we need not only a license but more messages to make clear this things.
As cascoly said a liberal license with (I would add) some paragraphs that stated these possibility through negotiation is better than a rigid(?) license.
