Got a chuckle out of this :D
Foo Fighters wanted the rights to ALL photos taken at their concerts....so one newspaper sent a cartoonist along instead :lol:

LOL! seen a couple of posts on other site about this .. made me laugh too

.. and also that situation about Taylor Swifts deal to photographers, limiting their rights to their photos.

This industry is definitely heading in the wrong direction!

Good for them - the newspaper that is.

Looks like it was raining pretty heavily at that concert.

I always like people who push back against greedy idiots. If they expect photographers to hand over their rights to their work, then perhaps in return they could hand over the band's rights to their music?

the hypocrisy with the Taylor Swift saga is that she complained the loudest about Apple's new music streaming service policy(somethign about a 3 month freebie service) that will have the artist get no income for the free period.


Quote from Taylor Swift:


“Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.”

my heart bleeds for the poor struggling little sh!! ... err, you know what I mean.
