Image Licensing Rights Management – Comprehensive Documentation of Assets’ License Status

Images may only be published and used for commercial purposes with the consent of the creator or copyright holder. When images are commissioned or purchased, usage rights are determined contractually. In practice, two different forms of usage rights have emerged. If images have a royalty-free license, comprehensive use is allowed once a one-off fee has been paid. A rights-managed license only provides for limited, but usually exclusive, image usage.

Digital asset management offers versatile and practical support for dealing with images and safeguarding rights. First off, digital asset management can add metadata to a medium, thus specifying particular annotations and regulations.

To avoid breaching rights when publishing images, having the rights and licenses you have purchased clearly mapped out is particularly useful. Digital asset management facilitates the proper use of media so that their usage doesn’t incur legal consequences or additional costs.
