I remember that Abraham Zupruder sold the rights to his film to Life Magazine, but the government still had the right to use the film in its investigation of the assassination (even if it did mean reversing the order of images to make it look like the fatal shot was from behind....don't get me started!). I'm not sure that the photographer would have carte blanche to sell the negative knowing that it was proof of someone committing a felony. Bert, are you following this thread?
