Rammstein: Restrictions for journalist photographers
 |
|
During the Rammstein show at the Wiener Stadthalle on Saturday were no agency Journalists / photographers allowed. Also in Germany, Rammstein wants to allow only photographers under strict restrictions.
Moreover, it was fixed in the contract that Rammstein may use the images free for their own purposes. The Treaty should allow the band to use some photos for websites without extra compensation. The German Journalists’ Association (DJV) has already protested and called on the record company to withdraw the photo contract.
The whole thing does not surprise me at all. Please let me know into comments if you have experienced this behavior also with other bands.

This is similar to a move being made by the Guardian paper in the UK. They are trying to change their contracts so that they only pay photographers once for the photos rather than having to pay additional fees for any future use.
Personally I feel if someone was paying me to take photos of them for their use I would only expect to be paid once (but the price would reflect this). However, the photographers in question do not work for Rammstein and therefore they should be paid the same for Rammstein using their photos as for anyone else using them.
