ASMP\u2019s answer: a \u201cDeclaration of Conscience\u201d stating that \u201creproduction rights and ownership belong to the photographer; that each use of a photograph must be compensated for; that limitations on a photographer\u2019s freedom to reuse his own creations must be related to the purpose and protection of the publication and must be limited in time; and that no ASMP member or unaffiliated photographer should agree to terms inconsistent with the resolution.\u201d A two-year battle with Time Inc., is waged, and many ASMP members jeopardize their livelihoods before this basic right is recognized by the publishing industry. The stock photography business, and the benefits photographers realize from it, is a direct result of ASMP\u2019s stand.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/www.asmp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Rectangle.png” background_size=”initial” background_repeat=”repeat-y” custom_padding=”|20px||20px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”||0px||false|false” background_last_edited=”on|tablet” background_position_tablet=”top_left” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#000000″ divider_weight=”1px” show_divider_tablet=”off” show_divider_last_edited=”off|tablet” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” position_origin_r=”top_right” horizontal_offset=”-5.8%” horizontal_offset_tablet=”-20px” horizontal_offset_phone=”” horizontal_offset_last_edited=”on|phone” position_origin_a_tablet=”” position_origin_a_phone=”” position_origin_a_last_edited=”on|tablet” position_origin_f_tablet=”” position_origin_f_phone=”” position_origin_f_last_edited=”on|tablet” position_origin_r_tablet=”top_left” position_origin_r_phone=”” position_origin_r_last_edited=”on|tablet” width=”20px” module_alignment=”right” height=”1px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” positioning_tablet=”” positioning_phone=”” positioning_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_alignment_tablet=”left” module_alignment_phone=”” module_alignment_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”0874a7ef-fda6-4460-964c-06187d4d2262″ text_font_size=”18px” header_4_font=”|600||on|||||” header_4_text_color=”#F05A22″ header_4_letter_spacing=”1px” header_4_line_height=”1.5em” text_orientation=”right” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_4_text_align_tablet=”left” header_4_text_align_phone=”” header_4_text_align_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”off|phone” text_orientation_tablet=”center” text_orientation_phone=”” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|tablet” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”a8409e17-25cb-454e-bc3b-ac1717bd963d” text_font_size=”18px” header_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” header_3_text_color=”#1d1d1d” header_3_font_size=”32px” header_3_line_height=”1.4em” text_orientation=”right” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_3_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_3_font_size_phone=”18px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_text_align_tablet=”left” header_4_text_align_phone=”” header_4_text_align_last_edited=”on|tablet” text_orientation_tablet=”left” text_orientation_phone=”” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|tablet” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” header_2_4_text_align_tablet=”left” header_3_4_text_align_tablet=”left” header_4_4_text_align_tablet=”left” header_5_4_text_align_tablet=”left” header_6_4_text_align_tablet=”left” header_2_4_text_align_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_3_4_text_align_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_4_4_text_align_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_5_4_text_align_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_6_4_text_align_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_2_4_text_align_phone=”left” header_3_4_text_align_phone=”left” header_4_4_text_align_phone=”left” header_5_4_text_align_phone=”left” header_6_4_text_align_phone=”left”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”102bef9d-a6b9-41f0-af77-1ed5b7bd0593″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”right” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” text_orientation_tablet=”left” text_orientation_phone=”” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|tablet” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In a letter to President John F.
