I've heard this sad argument many times before. Alamy, like other large stock agencies make their profit on volume. A friend from the USA recently visited me in Canada. His largest complaint from Corbis, is the dilution due to subagencies. He is a former National Geographic photographer who resents cheques for $4.00!!!!!

In addition the other sad argument is also given by I suspect some less than ethical agents to their photographers , is that it is too much work to sort through their files in order to return images when asked, and in the meantime I suspect continue to sell ones images and forget to pay the photographer in question his rightful, but low fee anyway !!!
