    Pixsy Payout

    I subscribed to this website a good few months ago and they found quite a few of my images which appeared to have been stolen. They took up the case on two, one of which they had no success but the other, one of my red squirrels, they managed to resolve and today my bank account was credited with £150. Not bad considering I did not have to do anything

    Well done Stan

    I signed up for Pixsy but had forgotten about it until your post reminded me to check again. The only match that I can't explain away is < here > and quite why a photograph of a Torbay sunrise is deemed appropriate for inclusion in an article on camping in Arizona is beyond me. The image doesn't seem to be gaining them anything so I'm more puzzled than anything (but a by-line would be nice).

    Cheers,
    John

      Re: Pixsy Payout

      Pixsy found that a local steam fair had used half a dozen images of mine on their site, shots I'd taken at the fair the previous year. So rather than let Pixsy deal with it I emailed them - they do work for charities and stuff - and ended up in slightly acrimonious discussion with site owner including "Well I'm in one of the shots" and "They're on the internet so I thought I could use them".

      In the end I wish I'd asked Pixsy to deal with it as it would have been less annoyance.

                Thanks Jeff.
                Not anywhere near 500 on there, only the ones that I posted on Flickr before a certain date. Have tried to contact Pixsy but like a lot of sites there don't seem to be any contact details to query anything like this.

                        it costs nothing so nothing to lose. It does come up with some odd matches, like I was alerted to a shot of the clock at the Greenwich Observatory, yes it was the same clock but the time on it was completely different

                        Having said that there are two more of my images they are about to investigate so hoping for another positive result in a few months

                          I thought that if you were signed up to Pixsy and opted for Flickr Synchronise pictures would be up-loaded automatically to Pixsy, that don't seem to be the case - at my end anyhow. I've now up-loaded them manually.
