Singer Taylor Swift has relaxed the “restrictive” rules on image use for photographers covering her 1989 World Tour.
The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) said on July 21, that the group and Swift’s representatives have come up with a new agreement for photographers covering the global tour, which runs until December this year.
Restrictions laid out in Swift’s contract apparently included a ‘one-time-only’ image use limit, which elapsed at the end of 2015, and a requirement for written consent from Swift and her agent for any other use of a photo.
The new contract, published on the NPPA website, makes clear that photographers are able to use photos more than once. It also shows that copyright is not taken away from photographers or publications.
