Ruzies over sportfoto's duren voort
In de New York Times schrijft Doreen Carvajal over de steeds hoger oplopende ruzies tussen sportfederaties enerzijds, en dagbladen en nieuwsagentschappen anderzijds. Het conflict draait om de rechten en beschikbaarheid van sportfoto's tijdens en na wedstrijden. Zo wil de Engelse voetbalbond een vertraging van twee uur tussen de wedstrijd en het publiceren van foto's op websites. Agentschappen als Getty Images werpen tegen dat de economische houdbaarheid van dergelijke foto's zo kort is dat een dergelijk embargo de verkoopwaarde van de foto's ernstig aantast. In Duitsland bestaat al sinds 2001 zo'n embargo.
Ook de Nederlandse situatie komt uitgebreid ter sprake:
In the Netherlands, the Dutch Newspaper Publishers Association is negotiating an access agreement for journalists with that country's Premier League, which earlier in the process unsuccessfully sought to impose a ban on the publication of photographs of stadium fans, according to Michel Frequin, the association's lawyer.
Mr. Frequin said the request for the ban had been inspired by photographs that showed fans in an unfavorable light, like a widely circulated image of a little boy making an obscene gesture at a rival team. "We know that the clubs want complete control and the very management of photographs," he said. "They want to control it and sell it exclusively and then everyone can buy it."
In a meeting this month of Dutch publishers and sports authorities, Mr. Frequin said, the dailies rejected a proposal restricting the delivery of photographs to mobile telephones and the use of breaking news photos on newspaper Web sites. He said one outcome of the dispute could be a court fight.
