WTF?!
so basically you can take pictures of them that you can never use again, you can't do anything with them except hand them over to the Foo Fighters...
sheesh, that's total bullshit |
|
"i agree that you shall have the right to exploit all or a part of the Photos in any and all media, now known or hereafter devised, throughout the universe, in perpetuity, in all configurations as you determine, without obtaining my consent and without any payment or consideration therefor. "
looks like they covered all the basis heh |
|
I would say
"one two, fuck you!" |
|
i didn't sign it yet..i have my coworkers telling me not to...but then i won't get to shoot them..
sigh
at least they pay to copyright the images themselves
hahaha
when i sign these things i usually enter the names of several mags/papers that i work/freelance for, but she emailed me saying to only list the 1 magazine in the space provided...
they are a TOUGH pr company...point 1 says "if they agree" i can add a pic to my portfolio...
manson said ok to my portfolio only, not my site...i'm trying to think who else...there was someone else...i forget who...some other big band i shot...
but i think if i ask her if i can put one in my portfolio after, she'll probably say no...dunno though |
|
it almost seems like it's not worth doing
|
|
foo fighters are gay. fuck that. I would say no. |
|
Weezer doesn't care and didn't ask me to sign anything.
they are usually good about crediting though...if you look at the live pics on the site, they are credited...
|
|
Weezer, my brother use to see them when they were called Avant Garde in CT. |
|
same thing happened when i shot manson..except i have the copyright and when i emailed to ask if i could use pics on my portfolio they said yes |
|
RustedAngel said: foo fighters are gay. fuck that. I would say no. |
Precisely. The gayness of this band should make your decision for you. |
|
sorry but i love the band
and dave grohl's an awesome dude too (larissa can also vouch since she met him as well). I didn't sign it yet not sure what i'm doing...if i edit it i know she'll notice...whatever happens i'm bringing a copy to the show and if i see dave i'm going to show it to him...i wonder if he knows or not |
|
hey carina, my gf and I are going to this
i dont really know weezer or the other band, so we're going for the foo fighters. we have ga tickets, so maybe I'll see you there! |
|
dave grohl can be an awesome guy, because his agents and pr people cover the dickhead bases for him
dont sign that |
|
Hey Anthony! The manager of the venue really likes my pics and wants me to get some crowd shots for him...so yell out my name and i will get pics of you guys!
|
|
sweet! we may be up at the front, it depends on how much effort we feel like putting in to jostling our way up there hehe |
|
just do it for money. selling out should be the master plan |

well he IS a photographer, and that is information relevant to this thread.
|
|
I also like long walks on the beach and Quiznos, what's your fucking point? |
|
agnostic fronts lawyer here...i haven't posted since that tragic plane crash a few month's ago but anyway...
unless your being paid for this ..don't sign it and don't do it..
nothing good {for you} will come from it and only bad could . |
|
do it, it's good for your carreer. You take awesome pics and when they see them they'll wanna use them and let you promote your site with them. Swear to GAWD |

nice. just tell them you asked Brad, and he said it was cool, they'll know what that means.
|
|
I wouldn't do it, myself, but I have no talent for taking photos. |
|
i did it but ... muahahaha
i think i'll be fine
=) |
|
you posted this asking if you should do it. most of the people said no you shouldn't, but you did it anyways. why bother posting this? |
|
and why post as godamn instead of your name?
I'll answer anyhow:
I wanted peoples opinion's.
and something else came up causing me to sign it...but I didn't post about it here...not that I need to explain myself to you but there you go
|
|

|
when in doubt, ask Brad. They knew the power.
|
|
Shit like that turns me off on the whole industry. Makes me want to take a camera in on my own and just take pictures anyway. So lame. |
|
Wait, didn't you post about looking all over to buy a CD that used your photos? Aren't you supposed to get a free copy? |
|
actually if you shoot "large" bands you sign a release...the only odd thing is that they own the copyright.
i already talked about me using the pics and it is ok, but they want to see them before.
i came home today and they sent me a ticket, promo kit including cd and other stuff
~~and anon are you talking to jay? bcz that never happened to me |
|
Probably talking to me. I hate asking for shit, so I just bought it on my own. If the band was some super huge band like Foo Fighters, I would have asked to get paid for it and wouldn't pay for the CD, but Zombie Apocalypse isn't exactly huge, so I just bought it... and didn't ask for money for them to use it... even though they DID offer... |
|
do it for the money, otherwise fuck those bitches |
