p.1 #1 · reasonable use

Here's a question about what rights are conveyed in a sale of an image:

If I sell an image to the local Chamber of Commerce with 'reasonable rights' for digital, printing use;
does that include transfer of this image to a third party magazine? Two of my images were reproduced w/o photo credit (oh, the sting), and w/o my consent or compensation.

Have I already given up those rights?

You might be better asking this in the Pro forum.

What's reasonable to me might be unreasonable to you.

There's no legal definition of "reasonable rights" so they are free to do anything you didn't prohibit.

You should read John Harrington's book "Best Business Practices for Photographers" to learn about licensing and contracts.

Thanks for the suggestions. At the risk of redundancy I'll repost to the pro forum. I don't see anyway to move the existing thread.

Thanks for suggesting the Harrington book. It sounds like a good manual for someone who's beginning to sell images.
