Copyright Licensing Issues
When you own a copyright to a photograph, you have complete and exclusive control of how it is reproduced, displayed and distributed. These rights may be assigned, sold, transferred or given away. If you decide to authorize others to use your copyright, also known as licensing, you may want to consider the following items:
a) Who are you giving the rights to?
b) What specific rights are you granting?
c) Are you authorizing print and/or electronic rights?
d) If you grant electronic rights, what kind? CD? Web?
e) For what time are you granting the rights?
