In other words, you lose all control over the images. I especially
dislike the "authorize others to do so." And there's no apparent time
limit. I wouldn't do it.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] New Media request
Hello,
I am working with a production company that used images from our
Photograph Collection in a documentary. They are asking for an
amendment to the Licensing Agreement they signed more than a year ago to
include: "Non-theatrical, Internet, New Media, and In-Context
Promotion." While I believe the original agreement covers
non-theatrical, internet, and in-contextual promotion (although in our
language and not their legal department's), the term "new media" is
causing us a bit of concern.
They are defining New Media Rights as: "the unlimited rights to
duplicate, display, stream, download, and otherwise distribute the
Program and portions thereof, and to authorize others to do so, by all
media on all wireless devices now known or hereafter developed,
including cell phones."
My question is, how are others handling such requests? And, are others
giving this blanket permission for unknown, undeveloped technology?
