Q: HI, I sent an image to a 'fit finder' group, which has since been taken by various news agencies and used in articles.
I privately message them, so they could post it on their page, as so I could remain anonymous, but I did not give permission for them to give out my image to people other than their own page. Am I entitled to anything?
A:
It depends on the agreement you had with them. Was there a standard agreement for anyone sending them images? did you specify when sending the image that only they could use it? More details on this are needed to better answer your question but I would start by looking at their standard agreement and the message you sent.
