Ok, so this is a first for me. I shoot (spec, not contract) for a local Semi-Pro football league, and one of the players got himself in some serious legal trouble, for which he was sentenced, etc. I have other issues with the story (Paper led the article with "Worcester County Wildcats Wide Receiver Jose Manuel Abreu-Elicier Sentenced To Prison For Role In Stolen Identity Refund Fraud Scheme" - the team had nothing to do with the individuals activities), but also used my image as the lead for the article.
I own the image (no rights were given to the team or league), and was not contacted. So, I will be contacting the paper to request compensation and attribution - but is that the right way to go about this? What other rights do I have?
