What will happen after 500k views? Lisence.

Hello. I have a question. I use your images for YouTube. When there are more than 500k views images for 1 image, I will need the enhanced license. The annual license will cover the images that I used or I will need to buy some kind of license for each image that has 500k views? It's all so confusing for me. Thanks for your attention.

If you need an extended license for one image, you would need to buy an extended license for each image, under the same condition.

Thanks. What about credit? is it more profitably to buy an image for credit? when an image reaches 500k views can I buy it for credits?

500k on the same YouTube video? I would expect that you need to acquire an extended licence.

If you want to be certain, you will need to ask your lawyer. You won't get more advice here as to read the licensing terms. We are not lawyers and will not provide juristic services, only opinions. Adobe employees will point you to the licensing terms.

I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).

So, my question is if 1 image (standard license) has had 500k views may it be bought it for 1 credit year by year and continue to use this image? Thank you for your time.

By doing so, you have broken your agreement and can be sued for damages if the rights holder or Adobe becomes aware of the infringement.

There is no way to buy an image for credits and use it after 500k views? Am I right?

You gave me the link to this post. That didn't help at all. I guess only adobe employees may answer my question

Adobe employees don't comment on licensing. terms. They will point you to the same links. If they would answer, they could create a liability for Adobe.

I've answered your question to the best of my knowledge. If you want better advice, I suggest consulting a lawyer specialized in the matter.
