Hello Brian, I’m sorry to hear about your problems with the AP. My wife and I have had a problem with them lately as well. We took a picture of a couple in 2006 for a magazine that my wife and I did not work for. We were asked by them to take their photo for a story coming out, and their staff photographer was not available. Now after a year and a half the couple is missing and their picture is all over the internet and television without our permission. AP said they got permission from the magazine that requested us to take their photo, but that magazine didn’t have written permission from us, and never contacted us to obtain permission. Now the AP will not get back to us. They say it is between the magazine and us, and it is not their problem.
They will not return our calls or emails either. Is AP making money from this photo that they did not have permission to distribute?
