licensing for your photo of the colosseum
How do I find licensing for use of your photo of the colosseum? I'm a high school teacher, and I'd like to use the image for a poster for a play.

Thanks!

Using your photo of Radcliffe Camera
Hi, I represent the Jane Austen Society of North America, a non-profit literary society. I would like to use your beautiful photo of the Oxford Radcliffe Camera for a tour brochure and a posting on our web site, www.jasna.org. I am able to provide appropriate attribution, specifically: Radcliffe Camera, Oxford, DAVID ILIFF. License: CC BY-SA 3.0. But I read that I also need to include a reproduction of the actual license. That will not fit on our brochure or even fit in well on the web page, can you give me permission to use the photo with the attribution alone? If I could figure out how to attach a pdf of the Publisher File to this kind of communication, I would be happy to do so. Can you please send me an email to claireqb07@yahoo.com, as I do not have a Wikipedia account. Many thanks for your help!

Hey!
Just wanted to say I hope you're doing well in this very awful time. Been a weird year. I guess I'm doing mostly okay. Will be glad when we can all move again, but... well, still editing images for featured pictures. Not much movement there of late, but then, people can't really go out and photograph right now. Been taking the opportunity to do some larger restorations. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.4% of all FPs 12:08, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Image Tower Bridge 2006
Hello David, i believe we used one of your images for a blog post back in 2015, the chap that did the blog is no longer working with us so we are not 100% sure where the image came from, but we assume it was from Wiki? The image was used in good faith with no intention of making money. The assumption was that all images on the Wiki commons files were free to use? To the point we are being taken to court by Fossick Picture for copyright infringement. The person taking us to court is a Mr Leopold Kamugyene the company Fossick is not registered in the uk so we dont know if they are fraudulent as they are registered in Estonia with an office in London. They are using your name to make the claim, if you could advise if the image does or does not have any copyright infringements on Wiki please. Sorry for this just we are a small company and we dont know if Fossick are just going around making scam claims on small vulnerable companies. My apologies if the image has copyrights, we assume the image was free to use, see our very basic blog: https://www.cnmonline.co.uk/blog/Tower_Bridge/

Good Morning (Evening your time),

I have messaged you on facebook regarding reproduction of image request. Could you please email me dnihill01@gmail.com, so I can email you our request.

Kind regards Danielle

Fossick OU
Hi David

Really love your pictures, especially those you took around Oxford

Out of interest, are you associated with a company based in Estonia called fossick OU as they are claiming to be the license sellers of your images.

I notice your images are on here under GNU so just clarifying the copywrite for a fiend

I look forward to hearing back from you

Stay safe

Best regards

Hi David, I found your picture of the Sydney-Habour Bridge by Night on Wikipedia. I would like to ask a question: May we add the words "Eternity" to this picture? and publish it in our magazine ideenplus. We are a children's ministry and would like to publish children's story of Arthur Malcolm Stace - known as Mr. Eternity. Unfortunately, I did not find a usable picture with "Eternity" written on it (see this link: https://www.amusingplanet.com/2018/07/the-story-behind-sydneys-eternity.html). I would create a photomontage. May we use this image free of charge. Of course under the copyright note of her name. It would be nice if you could give us permission to print it.

London_Thames_Sunset_panorama_ _Feb_2008
Dear David,

We used an image of the London_Thames_Sunset_panorama_ _Feb_2008 for a brief period on our LinkedIn page as a banner, but inadvertently did not provide the correct attribution. We apologise for this oversight. I was not aware that the image is licensed to you and as soon as we became aware, we immediately removed the image.

However, we have received an email from Pixy with an extremely large retroactive licensing fee for an image used on a web page which is now archived. We are a small advisory company who gets less than 100 visits per year on our LinkedIn page.

Could you please first confirm that Pixy is acting on your behalf and that this is not a spam or phishing email? Pixsy have been unwilling to provide any evidence that they are acting for you in spite of repeated requests. No contracts with you have been shared and that leads me to believe that Pixsy are making a fraudulent claim using your name.

The case reference that Pixsy has quoted is 002-203834.

Hereford Cathedral Image
Dear Mr Lliff,

I have recieved a letter from a company demanding quite a substanial amount of money for using your image and not displaying your information clearly. In asking the company for more details they tend to respond with quite abrubt unhelpful information. It has meant we have removed the image from our website, which is a shame as it is a stunning image but the last thing we want to do is use an image without permission. As a small company we rely on artists like yourself who are kind enough to allow people to use their images and we are very careful to check licenses to make sure we are using them correctly and would of course correct anything if contacted.

Would you be able to confirm if the company contacting us are indeed legitimate as the correspondence does come across a lot like spam. If you do not have any notification of this case and a company acting on your behalf, I would happily open up a discussion about putting the image back on our website in a way which would be of agreement to you.

I am sorry to bother you with this and appreciate your time.

Yours sincerely Andrew Amgnholidays (talk) 17:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Westminster Cathedral image
Good morning David,

I hope you're well. My name is Mark Brierley, I am the Head of Membership and Communications for The Royal Society of Musicians of Great Britain. We are a charity which helps musicians unable to work because of accident, illness, stress or anxiety, by providing grants for medical treatments.

We have been contacted by the company Pixsy with a copyright claim, regarding the use of your wonderful photograph of Westminster Cathedral at dusk ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Westminster_Cathedral_at_Dusk,_London,_UK_-_Diliff.jpg ), which we recently used to accompany a news article about the Festival of St Cecilia.

As far as I can tell, the image is subject to a creative commons license and no fees should be due, but Pixsy are asking for an exorbitant license fee so we have removed the article from our website (www.rsmgb.org)

We are a small charity that can ill-afford this fee, so we would ask if there is anything that can be done by you to waive the fee, please? As an organisation that is here to protect people that work in the creative industries, we absolutely recognise the need for artists to be fairly compensated for their work, so if you could please clarify whether or not you expect licensing fees from this image, and that Pixsy are acting on your behalf, that would be great help.

Many Thanks,

St Albans Cathedral image
Dear David, We used your image of St Alban’s Cathedral to advertise a small pilgrimage there last September and the image remained on our news feed. We understand that this image is free to use but we failed to display the correct attribution for which we offer our apologies. This error was pointed out by a company called Pixy who are asking for payment of a licence fee of £450. We are a small charity – a local church – and can ill afford such an unusual expense. Can you confirm that this is not a scam? Initially the company gave an address in East Finchley, London, and then they amended it to the US. Are they genuinely acting for you?

360 degree image of the Piccadilly Arcade taken in June 2009.
Dear David,

I would like to use your photograph of the Piccadilly Arcade for a small book I am writing on my Aunt, Margaret Hermione Mackenzie. She managed an outlet in the Arcade in the late 50s and early 60s selling scottish tartans, cashmere jerseys and scottish silver. I would like to give the reader a feel of what the Piccadilly Arcade looked looks like. From what I see I do not think the overall appearance has changed much since she the period 1950/60. Under the photograph would appear the words Photo by DAVID ILIFF. License: CC BY-SA 3.0

Please let me know if this is possible?

Kind regards, Mark 91.89.169.177 (talk) 12:53, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Mark, yes that's perfectly fine. Thanks for checking. Diliff (talk) 13:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

== Dear David, I would like to use your beautiful photograph of the Plaza Virgen de los Reyes, Seville, in a novel where one of my protagonist's home town is Sevilla (she has a poster in her apartment, showing this view).
