Thank you for your message via the website www.b3ta.com asking to publish one of my images in the 'You've got Spam' section of ZOO Weekly. The image being:

runaround.jpg

which was created by me under my b3ta.com username 'Afinkawan'.

Sadly, I have occasionally been approached by other publications, offering payment for the use of images for single use, so I cannot allow my images to be published for 'free' in your magazine when there may be other publications willing to pay.

Over the past 12 months or so, a significant number of b3ta images have been used in your magazine with no renumeration for their use, other than offering prizes with a similar value to that of the sponsored prize if the image was classified as the 'reader winner' in the 'You've got Spam' section.

As said above, I cannot allow images to be printed without payment when other publications may offer to pay for the work to publish it. If you do change your policy and offer a payment for the use of images, I would be happy to offer my images for publication to the 'You've got Spam' page on future occassions if an agreement can be reached beforehand.

Please feel free to contact me via email if you wish to discuss this further

Kind regards,

Me
