->> I'm pretty sure David keeps all rights to his photos. Corbis just licenses editorial and commercial uses of his images. This would be the importance of keeping rights to your own work.

->> Another question is how much will Gigapan pay him for use of his shot on their site? After all, their beta price of $279 is now $379, surely they can afford something. :-)

->> Corbis is licensing the image for additional editorial and commercial sales.

That's not odd in the real world.

Worst case scenario, he negotiated these rights after the creation of the image. Best case scenario, it was all negotiated before he agreed to allow Corbis to distribute his images.

->> Delane, thanks for posting this.

As you correctly assume, I own all rights to my inauguration image. I was credentialed through Corbis and they are handling commercial and editorial licensing of both the GigaPan photo as well as my traditional images from the event.

The file I provided to them is "only" 100 megs, but I can supply a bigger version on a case-by-case basis if it's needed for publication.
