I've entered contests that limited my retained image rights only to photo credit, but allowed the contest sponsors freedom to otherwise use the image at their discretion. Obviously, in this case your retained photo credit rights (?) were ignored.

What were the rules of the Time Magazine contest? You'll have to see what rights you granted Time Magazine when you entered their contest. The NY Daily News may have acquired the image lawfully. I think about the best you can hope for is a correction notice from the NY Daily News properly attributing the photo to you. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
