ASMP The American Society of Media Photographers has issued a legistlative alert!
Legislative Alert:
June 14, 2007 — ASMP is concerned about a bill that has been introduced in the New York state legislature. The issue is related to rights of publicity and could have an impact on your business even though you are not a New York state resident.
Please take the time to read the documents link provided in red above, especially the draft letter, to have a complete understanding of what is at stake.
Yes, New York state may seem far removed from our beloved Sauk Valley of Illinois but with the immediacy of the world wide web, it is much closer than its physical geography.
The precendent(s) that the New York bill(s) would introduce can and will affect our photography businesses. Especially if you have a photo of anyone who has died in the past 70 years and want to sell it (most commonly this applies to celebrity pics) you will want to read the alert!
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
