An interesting question.  Try contacting ASMP, the American Society of
Media Photographers, 14 Washington Road, Princeton Junction, NJ
08550-1033, Tel.  (609) 799-8300.  They suggest rates for professional
photographers, and are always interested in new or unusual issues
concerning copyrights and fees.  They ought to have some experience in
such a matter.
