A question I have is who owns the rights to a photograph once it is sold (the original slide/negative)? I have discussed this question with many people and have gotten various answers. If someone sells a slide for $1.00/slide or $100/slide, does the buyer then get the rights to this particular photograph? I understand that credit is always given to the photographer, I was just wondering if the person who purchases a slide or negative can freely use it in a book, magazine, for duplication, printing, etc? I have seen a lot of things in print that have a credit such as this...."John Doe photograph, Smith collection." I would assume this means that the owner, not the photographer, has submitted the photograph for publication. I would appreciate any information on this.
