Royalty Free Wildlife Images

[Clinton]

I am a keen amatuer wildlife photographer & have recently developed my
own small online image library. Currently there are only 200 or so
images, but some I believe are quite good. All images are royalty free
& just £3 each to download, even cheaper if you subscribe to a monthly
or yearly account.

Please feel free to take a look www.clintonmoffat.co.uk

Regards,

Clinton Moffat.

You can't have it both ways:

Royalty free means exactly that. Yet you go on to say that in order to
get these Royalty Free items, you have to pay to access the the site. Or
pay for subscriptions.

Royalty-free is a term of art, Phillip.

Depends on how you define "royalty". In many cases royalty means
on-going fees every time you use it (thus the actors get their "royalty"
fees for reruns on TV, authors get some per book payment, etc.
If the guy charges a one time charge and you can freely use the
photo after that, then it is royalty free.

I read the article and come across the the phrase:
Royalty-free media is usually acquired for a 'one time only' fee,

Perhaps my education about the word "free" is not all it cracked up to be.

The meaning of free I grew up with. I give you this item "free" which
means you don't owe me anything for it period.

IF I have to pay for it even if I pay for it one time, then have rights
to use; I still had to pay for it. Now each time I use it it ens up
costing me less based on the number of times I used it.

If I download once and it cost me $100.00, and use it only once That's
hardly free. at 100 times it cost a dollar, at a 1000 would cost me 10
cent. and finally at a 10000 times would be a penny.

Most users would likely use a given image over 4 or 5 times.

More accurately the person should have said.:

You can download for a one time only , and have unlimited "fair use" rights.

Royalty-free is a term of art, Phillip.

If you pay a one time fee then you are paying a "Royalty" even if its
"one time" your paying a Royalty.

If you want to do Royalty Free then post the items on a Public domain site.

I don't think it's worth discussing that sad little fellow in here. I think
it would be appropriate to allow the Spam Robot to simply vanish him
This group does NOT welcome advertising, whether a fee is charged or not.

I am sure we would make exceptions for people offering stuff that would
assist the word-using community, such as the Ribbon Customiser that MVP
Patrick Schmidt is offering for Office 2007. I won't add a link, because we
have no idea whether it will work with Word 2008 yet

Cheers
