So where is the funding problem???? What I find interesting is the fact that many items are donated to libraries etc and then they charge for their use??? Charges such as this, should pay for more than a libarian salary??? ----Original Message Follows---- From: Trina Purcell <[email protected]> Reply-To: Trina Purcell <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [ARCHIVES] All Rights Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 15:23:24 -0600 Hello Bill, I'm familiar with this request. At one time we used to sell "All Rights" for $300 per image. But about a year ago we discontinued the practice. Our fee schedule is based on the publication run and it just didn't make sense to charge some customers based on how many items they plan to publish, and allow others to print multiple editions in perpetuity. I also think All Rights sets a poor precedent in terms of control. We want to share our images, but we also need to know how and when they're being used. We now require the customer to purchase a new License Agreement for every subsequent edition. Most of our customers are all right with this. In fact I sometimes find that the people who think they need All Rights don't really understand what they're asking for, or just need some help understanding our procedures.
