I wasn't asked if I wanted to give away "all rights"; Is the media "television" or "all media" and "all news platforms? Is the time "ten years" or "in perpetuity"? Am I being incredibly dim, or is this rather ambiguous and confusing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I being incredibly dim, or is this rather ambiguous and confusing? I had one of those yesterday and was equally confused/dismayed. It seems"in perpetuity" is cropping up rather often these days for RM images Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 The "all rights" parts is the most disturbing. When I used to submit freelance articles and photos to newspapers, "all rights" in a contract meant just that -- i.e. you were giving away ownership of your work. Hopefully, "all rights" indicates something else in this context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brooks Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 +1 Philippe. The expression “Rights Managed Stock” is oxymoronic. Today Rights in Stock photography, from a practical perspective, are impossible to Manage effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 We've had various suggestions for the new meaning of RM -- Rights Muddled, Rights Mangled, Rights Maligned, etc. Perhaps we need something new altogether to describe non-RF licenses. Not sure what that would be, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
