- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I received an e-mail (as I imagine a lot of you likely did) requesting 6 of my photos to be released for commercial licensing through 500px.
Has anyone had any experience with commercial licensing before and do you happen to have any advice?
I released 3 of my photos which I am content with gambling with but I am holding 3 of them as they are my personal favorites and I really don't want to lose them due to my ignorance.
From my understanding, and by the agreement, I maintain the copyright for these photos and I can cancel the licensing agreement at any time. The thing about that is, I've entered into a contract and through that contract they will commercially license my photos to whomever wishes, right? My simply canceling my end of the bargain does not cancel theirs... they'll still own a license for that photo, correct?
Just wanting to be sure I don't get myself in trouble here. Totally new territory.
Thanks!
