“Spirit” Cover on Aviation Week and Space Technology Magazine: 14 November 2005
Rocky Martian High: Spirit Takes the Summit “Spirit” at the Summit of Husband Hill appears as the Cover image for the 14 November 2005 issue of Aviation Week and Space Technology Magazine. The highly detailed 6 page cover package, titled "Rocky Martian High", describes the dramatic flight operations of the JPL/Cornell team as Spirit completed work on a Martian mountaintop: see www.aviationweek.com. The cover photo of Spirit and 2 additional pictures inside (full widescreen view and hazcam of Hillary rock outcrop), were derived by an international team of Mars enthusiasts indicating how outside analysts can use the raw imagery data from the rovers available to everyone.

This sounds like very poor editorial practice for New Scientist.
It depends on your agreement with AW, but typically you license the use of an image under agreed-upon terms and retain ownership and all other rights to the image. In this case, you probably would grant one-time exclusive use with reprint privledges. An image is rarely sold outright, especially a unique image like this one. Unless specifically granted, AW cannot "sell" use of your image. Not knowing any more details, I'd say that New Scientist used the image without authorization and may be liable for substantial useage fees. You may not want to be hard-headed about this, but you do need to press _any_ infringement issues assertively. If you don't, it sets a bad precedent for anyone who wants to mis-appropriate that image from you or any image from anyone else in the future. As much as we'd all like to hear how this drama unfolds, you may want to consider what you say in public on this matter. And be careful what you post or publish from the NS website here, if you infringe on them, that could compromise your position. Posting the link to the abstract was OK. I do photography as an amateur-professional sideline, and I get stuck with issues like this from time to time. "BT,DT". --Bill -------------------- |
