Using your photo of Radcliffe CameraHi, 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.

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/ Thanks David — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martinssimpson (talk • contribs) 13:06, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

(Foto von DAVID ILIFF. License: CC BY-SA 3.0) Sydney Harbour Bridge at nightHi 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).

London_Thames_Sunset_panorama_ _Feb_2008Dear 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. Thanks, Snbalaji2 (talk) 14:43, 15 January 2024 (UTC) Hereford Cathedral ImageDear 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 imageGood 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, Mark Brierley Mook200 (talk) 10:25, 25 January 2024 (UTC) St Albans Cathedral imageDear 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? Yours, Philip MaryFinchley (talk) 20:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC) Use of Pixsy and FossickHello David, can you confirm whether the companies Pixsy and/or Fossick have acted on your behalf to request payment for use of your photographs?

She managed an outlet in the Arcade in the late 50s and early 60s selling scottish tartans, cashmere jerseys and scottish silver.

Lord Mayor of London - John StuttardHello David, Can you confirm whether the company Fossick Pictures have acted on your behalf to request payment for use of your photographs? We included your image on our webpage https://waxantiques.com/visit-historic-london/ which is an informative description of the history of silver making in London since medieval times. The image has now been removed due to the threatening letter we've received but we'd like to reinstate it with a license/attribution to you. In addition, do you have any views of the Tower of London? Many thanks Landawax (talk) 13:42, 24 July 2024 (UTC) Image copyright - Can we fix this ?Hello David, On September 11, 2024 we received an email from the company Pixsy saying they are acting upon your behalf to request payment ($900) for use of two of your photographs. Curious if you requested them to carry out a search or if they are just trolling for business. We have been trying to contact you but have not received a response. Anyway, we would like to rectify our error. We included two of your fabulous images, the Strasbourg Cathedral Exterior & its Astronomical Clock, on our webpage to illustrate the beauty and interesting history of the Strasbourg Cathedral. We have removed these images from our web page due to the threatening letter we've received from Pixsy but we'd like to reinstate them with a proper license/attribution to you. I'm sorry that I didn't notice this requirement at the time and I will be diligent in providing attribution to photos used in the future. Many thanks Sheila SheilaName (talk) 14:14, 25 September 2024 (UTC) Combining photographsHi David, just a quick editing question. Some of your photographs have so much detail I was wondering if you ever stitch them together from separate more close-up images. This is something I've been doing with stained glass windows on libreoffice draw and it works rather well, but was wondering if it might work for nave shots as well. Thanks for your time, NateBergin (talk) 18:07, 5 October 2024 (UTC) Your AMAZING panoramas - What equipment did you use (for example Prague 2010)Hello @Diliff, I am from Switzerland and since years I use your absolutely amazing Prague panoramas as wallpapers for my 3 Monitor setups at work and at home. Your panoramas are the absolute best on the WWW. Period. There is no competition. Amazing work! Thinking about beginning with photographing as a hobby. Dumb question. What kind of equipment have you used to take for example the Prague panorama shot? I have no idea yet, but want to know what ballpark of equipment and cost this is (of course the skill is the hardest in that game). But that I get a rough idea. It would be so amazing, if you could answer me. Best regards from foggy Zurich, Switzerland EternalBudapest (talk) 09:28, 16 October 2024 (UTC) RE: Image copyright - is this real?Hello @Diliff, we have also received a request from Pixsy stating that they are acting on behalf of Owerk Ltd who act upon behalf of you for a payment request for the use of one of your photographs from Wikimedia commons. Is this a legitimate claim? The image in question is this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Keswick_Saturday_Market,_Cumbria_-_June_2009.jpg I fully believed the image was attributed to you correctly within WordPress so can only apologise if you feel that it wasn't. If you view the image on our site it links back to the wikimedia page but I can see that the border added to the website covers the bottom of the image and the reference on the homepage. The attribution has since been added to the footer as well to ensure there are multiple references however if you'd rather I'm more than happy to remove the image. I've replied to Pixsy but have not heard back from them, hope to hear from you. Chris ChrisNaylor94 (talk) 19:30, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
