 Black Star Rising received the following question from a reader, Darren Gibbins of Fargo, N.D. --
Can you tell me what legal rights I have to publish images I've made throughout my photojournalistic career on my website? Some have suggested that the images belong to the various newspapers I've worked for. I've also been told websites are considered editorial content and I am free to use my images on a site to promote my photography with or without a newspaper's consent. Please help.

Copyright infringement is much too common these days. To reap the big statutory rewards (of at least $750 and up to $150,000 for willful infringements, plus costs and attorneys' fees) from prosecuting infringements, you must have registered your photograph with the U.S. Copyright Office prior to the infringement or within three months of publishing it (making it available to the public).

 I saw an interesting snippet in the news last month that total ad revenue across print media had actually declined; it was reported as a "first." Whether a first or not, it's significant. It explains why newspapers are working so frantically to expand their Web sites -- and why they are asking photographers to expand their skill sets. The good news is that the Internet gives news gatherers some exciting new options for presenting stories with multimedia and video.

 I've made images of probably over a thousand artists and musicians over the nearly two decades I've been making images. In fact, I am shooting a performance of a well-known '80s band on Monday for a client. On these assignments, I maintain my rights to these images, as well as preclude any conditions to my exercising those rights. An article in the New York Times yesterday shed light on why this business practice is a good idea.

 How relationships change in a digital age becomes an important question when so much of our understanding of truth is predicated on the trust we have in the relationships among storyteller, story, and viewer. The notion of "relationship" seems to help explain some of the underlying precepts in photography -- immediacy, intensity and intimacy.
