Hello friends,
So, today when I got home from work I saw the latest magazine from Grand Rapids Community College sitting on the table. I recognized the person on the cover as the organizer of an event which attempted (and succeeded) at setting a world record for the largest zombie walk. I was there, and took pictures.
I turned to the article to immediately recognize two photos which I took at the event, and later posted on Facebook. They were also edited slightly (a ladder removed, woman's face blacked out completely...)
I'm a bit honored that they would use my photos, but also upset that they neither contacted me to ask permission, nor credited me in the article, nor compensated me for the use of my photos.
I just wonder where I should go from here. Immediately my roommate got excited and told me I could sue (doubtful)...but I'm just wondering if there IS anything I can do legally to get recognition and compensation, because I surely would not have let them use my photos without these two things.
Any suggestions?
Thanks! |
