eric_guel Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 In the video linked below, a PAC used one of my photos at :56. I was never contacted about this. Would you all consider this Fair Use? I'm inclined to send them an invoice. Thanks. Eric https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3Rxq-PFFPw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) You can try to block its use or collect a fee, and you'd have the right if the conditions are as you say. However, as well-known musicians have found out, it's very, very hard to succeed, much less collect damages. Some people are notorious for not paying even when they have a contract.

I doubt I'll get compensated, but I'll reach out to them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others want to show that they are on the right side, and will pay to show that. -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_guel Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Update. I sent an email to the PAC and within 24 hours their lawyer emailed me and asked me what my fee was. I sent him an invoice and he paid it. Check cleared today. Happy ending. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen_h Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Oh, by the way, the video doesn't work. It says that it is private. And thanks for the follow-up. Nice to know the ending, good or bad. 1 -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
