And it is attractive, from the “hassle quotient” on my point-of-view. But in reality rights managed transactions are actually a little less hassle-intensive than you might imagine, while royalty free transactions are not completely “hassle free”: Okay that’s great,

I was just browsing a popular photo stock agency for a specific picture, which I thought I found. It does have a recognizable face on it. Now I will take precautions to find out if the appropriate releases were obtained. Sounds stupid, but I guess I just assumed this, since its on a site where people go specifically for photos. Good post and info...thanks! This is timely for me to find this post. I was just browsing a popular photo stock agency for a specific picture, which I thought I found.

Virgin got into hot water because they (or their contracted designers) took images from flickr. Flickr is not a stock photo company. As a photographer its been very gratifying to see this story unroll, when I first saw the poster campaign on the subway platforms here in Sydney I began to thing that advertising had reached a whole new depth - taking free images from the internet (and to be honest rather good ones! its was a cleaver campaign). In the end the poster campaign got exactly what it deserved, excellent media coverage for virginmobile, and a lot of trouble too.

Any compensation should go the person's image he took right? But I cant’ get my head round if a photographer takes a photo of someone, then someone uses his image, how can he sue the person?

We designers are left vournurable to any law suit. Personally, I feel a bit angry, if the photographers arn’t doing the correct paper works. We designers are left vournurable to any law suit.
