If The Guardian want to stitch up their suppliers by changing their terms, there's nothing to prevent them from doing so. The tragic fact remains that very few people who read the Guardian pay more than cursory attention to the photographs they print. Advertisers know this and won't pay extra for space in a paper with well executed photographs. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+neil.beddoe=mbamfunds.com at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+neil.beddoe=mbamfunds.com at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Tina Manley Sent: 25 August 2009 14:49 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Death of PJ, revisited At 01:47 AM 8/25/2009, you wrote: >I actually >hope that Murdoch's experiment with charging for all his web content >is successful. > >Nathan Yes, he wants everybody to pay him but he doesn't want to pay for content. "The Guardian's parent company blamed "very difficult trading conditions" for its decision to make a rights grab for work done by freelance photographers at all its papers last week. Last week photographers were sent an email by managing editor Chris Elliot, stating that GNM would indeed stop paying re-use fees from 1 September. From then on, standard terms would grant the papers "perpetual licence" to re-use pictures without paying. Oliver Laurent of the British Journal of Photography described the move as "clear rights grab". This is definitely not legal.
