Title: Print rights & commission
Post by: BigBubba on March 06, 2016, 04:50
So, I went to the post office today, and while waiting I noticed a stack of pamphlets with my stock photo...I asked the guy that works there and he said its in every branch. I never had an EL for this photo...is this an EL kind of thing or a normal sub covers it?


Why?

Normal license would cover the type of use. Determining will be the size of the run.

Because standard licenses have a limit on the size of the print run usually. Is that what you are asking?

If they printed more than a certain number, then they need an EL - that number depends on which stock site it was licensed from. Using it in print is permitted under a general license, but if they printed more than say 500,000, depending on the stock site, then they need an EL. Hope that clarifies it for you.

I hope you picked up a brochure. When you see such a massive use, it makes you feel like even the EL isn't really payment enough.
