I need to know which country my sold images were used in.  Is there a way to find this out?  The Activity spreadsheet I can download does not have this info.  Thanks

No way to get that information.

Why do you think this is important to know?

The transaction ends when an asset is licensed and you receive a royalty fee. End of story.

 

Besides, Adobe can't share customer details with Contributors for privacy reasons. Even if they did, you'd still never know what the assets were used for -- print, digital, textile/merchandise -- or where they were distributed by the client.

I didn't think it likely but thought I'd ask.  I need it for royalty payback schemes in some countries.  Of course, learning that an image was licensed by a book published in the UK (for example) involves no loss of privacy.  Thanks all for replying.

The term ROYALTY FREE means that there is no royalty payback. It's as simple as this. 


Abambo, we're talking at cross-purposes.  Yes, RF means the customer doesn't pay for further licencing.  But Google "copyright payback schemes" to see that ALL sales, including RF, are eligible for payback schemes.

Adobe does not provide such info.

No way, unless you can find the image in an internet search engine.
