How to Deal with Rights Grab Contracts | The Best Music Photography in the World | Chris Owyoung

Given the recent comments on my concert photography article and the A Photo Editor blog regarding the Jane’s Addiction photo release, I thought the topic of rights grab contracts deserved some attention. The full text of the JA release and my overall strategy for dealing with these predatory documents after the jump.

Rights grab photography releases are a fairly recent evil of the concert photography business. Whether you want to make a living from shooting or not, all music photographers should actively resist these predatory documents and have a clear strategy for doing so. I don’t have all of the answers but I have had some success.

The Jane’s Addiction contract included in the post is nearly identical to the contract I was presented with (and didn’t sign) for Ryan Adams and the Cardinals’ show earlier this year.
