I'm a user so please send a newsletter when you do. Thanks Okay, it's an interesting but I would rather sell my photos for different prices depending on the license use.

Over time, we likely will add more sophistication to give people the ability to add granularity to the license terms, but for now we're trying to cut the confusion down. In terms of what you're licensing, you're giving permission to your buyer to go back to Flickr (we'll be adding more photosite support soon, but chose Flickr because of their support of Creative Commons) and download/reuse whatever resolution photo you have up there. The image on our site is just a thumbnail. Hope that helps, and feel free to email us directly in the future. We're extremely early stage (only been live for a month) so we welcome feedback and ideas as we move forward.

So that would mean for web use? Right? If I understand correctly I'm only licensing a small image size of 160x240? So that would mean for web use? Right?

Because from my knowledge it should be different prices for different license use (web, print, product, advertising, book, magazine, ...)

One point of clarification, we do track CC license terms for Flickr, we just don't know what they are when you register your feed from there as we have to look at each individual image. So, you can enter a price but if we later discover a CC license that permits commercial reuse then we don't apply the price to that photo because you've already made it available "for free" under a CC license. Also, we go back on a nightly basis and check to see if CC license terms have changed on any of the content from blogs and Flickr. Revver has a fixed CC license, so it's not an issue. Sadly, everything related to licensing seems and often is overly complex. We're hoping we can simplify that a bit! I appreciate the time you took to learn about RightsAgent.
