I have Chatted to live support.. Mailed support..

Told that (as seen), Editorial Images sent to Photoambry ar marked as regular RF files..
I don't want my Editorial images to be sold as RF.. as it is clear copyright infringement.. who are responsible if they sale and are using in a wrong way ? should we poll out the API program until it is fixed ?

Hope action is taken..

Make sure you use the correct terminology. Editorial is sold RF all over the place.

Yes you are right as (almost) always Sean...

Most editorial is sold as RF.. what i ment on photoambry.. no images is marked as editorial nor RM no way for buyer to see that the file is for Editorial usage only.

I would not worry. You have just taken and supplied the image. It is the buyer's responsibility as to how they use the image. Back in the pre -internet days we didn't stamp "editorial use only" over the back of prints when mailing them out to interested buyers. What is a bit more concerning to me, having just checked the site, is that all my editorial images state "yes" for both property and model release. Believe it or not, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (or any other celeb) have never signed a model release form for me. I'll check this one out with Yay and see what they say. Regards, David.
