Quoting Jez (Reply 2): I saw no problem with the request as the app merely links or provides a link to shots on a.net. |
Quoting spencer (Reply 3): So, Jez, you're fine with a company making big bucks from what basically has your photos as its only visual attraction?! Well, each to their own but mine also went in the bin!!!!!!! Spence |
Quoting Jez (Reply 2): I find it odd that a crew member would simply bin the message when a.net's own contact photographer template includes this: "To uphold the good reputation of the photographer community, please try to reply to photo usage requests". |
Quoting Jez (Reply 6): The whole model for this website is based on people giving away their images for free! |
Quoting Psych (Reply 7): Certainly if they intend to make money as an indirect consequence of my photography then I need to work out whether the trade in return makes it a worthwhile transaction. |
Quoting Garyck (Reply 5): Thanks for your valued input, but I if decided not to reply to what I feel is a mass email request that is my decision, I always reply to personal emails and will continue to do so. As it turns out, my first suspisions are correct, this is a mass email. |
Quoting Jez (Reply 8): I'm sure the ultimate intention of DM/a.net is to indirectly make money out of your images that you have given away for free by hosting them. |
Quoting Garyck (Reply 5): Dear sirs, we want to use your images for free, We will charge others for the app and make us money. |
Quoting unattendedbag (Reply 11): Unfortunately, THIS website hasn't picked up the ball and created some sort of cell phone app that could be sold to customers, Heavens knows, there is no money in THAT! |

Quoting Garyck (Reply 5): Dear sirs, we want to use your images for free, We will charge others for the app and make us money. Without the images from us they don't have a product.Sorry but no. If the company wanted to give me a fee for the use of all my images then great, but they want them all for free. |
Quoting Jez (Reply 15): Of course, it's entirely possible that a.net/DM have 'arranged' something with the developer or whole idea is a joint venture? Who knows. |
Quoting spencer (Reply 18): Jez, I agree on pretty much everything you said, but in this instance I feel the so called trade off doesn't benefit me as much as it does him. |
