SAA release free RM price calculator
The Stock Artists Alliance (SAA) has released a rights managed price calculator and made it available to download from their web-site free of charge. The software streamlines the RM pricing system called PLUS Packs™ developed by the Picture Licensing Universal System (PLUS.) The software, PLUS Packs™ Calculator is an open source tool SAA created to promote the adoption of the PLUS pricing standards by more licensors and licensees of RM stock imagery.
The Picture Licensing Universal System serves to standardize the definitions of the many terms used when establishing licensing agreements for stock images. The PLUS Packs™ provide a simple and fast way to establish terms of an RM license and thereby eliminate the “hassle free” advantage royalty free licensed imagery has over RM.
"There has been a call for innovation for many years by those involved in RM licensing. With rising new media use and the growth of simplified models, the need is now urgent to evolve RM if it is to remain relevant and responsive to the changing needs of image users,” says Betsy Reid, SAA's Executive Director. “PLUS Packs™ provide the solution [and] we hope that by SAA making this Calculator freely available, we can spur adoption, especially among smaller and specialist archives, portals and independent photographers who have so much to gain by making RM licensing a more attractive option to more customers."
