Embargo on the Stone Roses Re 'Exploitative Photography Contract'

It has come to our attention that The Stone Roses have issued unacceptable, rights-grabbing contracts to photographers ahead of their Heaton Park concert on Saturday. A group of photographers, led by Ian Tilton, has been trying to make them see reason. No light has penetrated as yet, and the photographers are currently planning a boycott.

The general feeling is that the contracts are right to exclude any kind of merchandising use of the photos but that restriction should go no further.
