ANOTHER RIGHTS GRAB ?
-- Blackpool photography 'rights grab' furore (UK). A council has hit back at criticism over potential exploitation of photo competition entries, saying that use of amateur pictures is becoming 'commonplace' on TV and in other media.
Though rules for Blackpool Council's 'Love Blackpool' competition state that copyright remains with the entrant, they also grant the council 'a perpetual, royalty free, non-exclusive, sub-licensable right and licence to use, exhibit, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, distribute... make available to the public and exercise all copyright and publicity rights...'
Among those livid at the rules is local resident Myk Ripley, one of Amateur Photographer's (AP) website forum moderators.
