Usage rights Q&A

Our basic intention is to encourage the use of our images and we take a common-sense approach to crediting: our only concern is that you credit clearly, visibly and unambiguously and that the credit is not separated from the image. We understand that the most appropriate way of doing so may vary from case to case. See the Q&A below for some common examples.

Q: I want to use the footage in a YouTube video. Is it OK just to put the credit in the text description?
A: No, as this is hidden inside a tab and therefore not visible as we request. Also it is not visible if the video is embedded in another website. In the special case where you cannot credit the video visibly, please include the credit line ‘burned in’ or overlaid on the video, or clearly visible as a credit at the end.

Q: I am a producer for a TV programme and wish to use your images. Do I need to overlay the credit on the image?
A: You do not need to, provided the credit is clearly visible and reproduced in full at the end of the programme.

Q: I am making an electronic game. Where should I place the credit?
A: As long as the credit is clearly visible to all users and reproduced in full, for instance in a splashscreen, all is fine.

Q: I am a picture editor for a newspaper/magazine. Your credit is kind of long. Can’t I just use the first part of the credit?
A: No. Please reproduce the credit in full. This should normally be on the page which the picture is presented on, or on the facing page.

Q: I am a picture editor for a News Agency. We prefer to use our own name as credit for the images and not tell anyone from where we got them. Is that ok?
A: No. Please reproduce the credit in full. This should normally be on the page which the picture is presented on, or on the facing page.

Q: I want to use a picture on the cover of a book/magazine. Does the credit have to appear on the cover?
A: No. Provided it is clearly visible and identified as being the credit for the cover image, the credit can appear in another prominent place in your publication. This could, for example, be the back cover, the inside front cover or the editorial page..

Q: Do I need to send you a physical copy of any products I have made using your imagery or footage?
A: No, an electronic copy (e.g. a photograph or a PDF) is fine. And it is in any case not mandatory to send a copy.

Q: I would like to digitally alter or manipulate an image. Is this OK?
A: Yes, but we still require attribution for the original image..

Q: Can I just overlay the Miramodus logo instead of the credit?
A: No.

Q: I am a journalist. I want to use the text of a press release in a news report. Do I need to credit you?
A: No. News media are excepted from the requirement to credit the text of press releases, announcements, pictures of the week or captions. (You must, however, properly credit any images you use).

Q: I am an editor of a publishing company. I want to use an image in a book. Do I need to credit you?
A: Yes.

Q: I want to use text from the Miramodus website, but it is not part of a press release, announcement, picture of the week or caption. Can I still use this?
A: No, text on the Miramodus website is not released under Creative Commons. Please contact us, though, as we are unlikely to decline a polite request for a reasonable request.
