[FONT=“Georgia”]A great article and short discussion I came across this morning.

Very well clear and logical argument.

Photography Usage Rights: Who Can Use Them?[/FONT]

@Charlie Borland

Actually I think you validated my point with the plane analogy. When you buy a plane ticket you get on the plane and are taken from point A to point B and your fees cover the cost of operating a plane as well as some profit. When you get off the plane you have no rights to get back on without buying another ticket or claim any ownership in the airline. Actually the airline does require that you ask permission once they’ve taken you where you want to go and that requirement is buy another plane ticket to take another flight IF you wish to use their airplane and its seat again. I’m telling my clients if they want to use my photography beyond our original agreement they have to ‘buy another ticket.’
