In Brief: I took face shots of my kids
when young because my youngest was exposed
to chicken pox as the oldest child .
The issue is, one child had a vaccine and
the other did not. I have perfect comparison pictures. I gave these to my Doctor to use for visual help for patients to make decisions. As the picture shows how
awful the pox can get!
Well, a large company wants to
use them for education, ads, website, etc.
What are my rights?

My response:

What are all of the terms and conditions; e.g. length of time, and how widespread? What have they proposed to you?

You know, the Gerber baby is still alive - - nearly 90, and still gets residuals.

both pictures. No time was discussed as
no limit to their usage. Please advise.
Thank you.

My response:

Well, it's better than a "poke in the eye with a sharp stick" I guess. Tell them $750.00, and that they'll only be posted in doctors' offices, "and you've got a deal."

Good luck.
