    so how do rights-managed images stand up in the situation where, eg, someone has used a rm image in a huge downtown billboard, say a woman smiling, a makeup brand logo on it etc - the work is on public display - are you not allowed to take a photo of this public display and use the image thereafter ?
    They cant extend the image rights to its public use..
    Therefore, if you just took a photo of the image when it displayed on your computer, when it has been used in its proper rights-managed setting, it is public display, and you were using your photography of a publicly displayed object as the art. It then becomes your image.
    Any thoughts ?
