just a little heads up for anyone else who got a request to use their photos by groundspeak.
i emailled back and asked for what purpose they would be used and was told that it would be for promotional and financial gain by groundspeak. so i emailled back this following email
"So for the use of my photo what do I get? Surely at least a years free subscription would be in order. And if it is used singularly on an item for sale then a small percentage.
And without argument the photo to be credited to me when used."
and got a rather abrupt and in my opinion annoying reply:
"Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, it seems as though we have different goals and interests. Therefore, we no longer seek permission to use your photo."
just thought i would let you know for your own information should you receive a similar request.
