Sutton Images acquired by you-know-who
The land grab continues:

Monopolies are rarely good, I don't think this one will be an exception either.

It is not "that Facebook group" here, so you can say Motorsport Network ;-)

Sutton must be well past retirement, when you think they probably own LAT aswell, they know have a massive cache
I really do not like where this is going honestly, I think they are just buying anything whatsoever linked to F1 and going to charge anyone a fortune to use any of it There is NOTHING good about any of that. |

yeah, i'm very concerned about the sudden buying up of motorsport resources and where it leaves everyone else. a decent percentage of paid journalists and photographers in the circuit press rooms around europe must now be working for companies or publications owned by these guys.

werent many/most of these properties all part of Haymarket Media before so there has always been a concentrated ownership/monopoly issue here.
actually with Motorsport Network taking over isnt it less of a monopoly now then when it was just one of many holdings by a far larger media company? |

Haymarket had Autosport, F1 Racing, Motorsport News & LAT - plus the Autosport Awards and the Autosport Show.
Also acquired:- Motors TV and now Sutton Images. Keith Sutton is I think 57 yrs old, Mark 52, so hardly ready to retire. Last edited by andrewc; 9 Apr 2017 at 14:49. |

Personally I'm fine with this, as I'd rather Motorsport, than some business that doesn't have motor racing interests at heart. At least this way we can still enjoy what they do

I assume we are talking about the "Midweek Motorsport Listeners Collective"? I am curious as well. I think I may have known at one point, but have forgotten. I seem to remember something to do with stolen content, unethical practices, etc. but I could be wrong?

Not sure they're ready to retire. I follow Mark Sutton on Instagram, and it seems that the passion is still there, despite the long haul flights and travel.

My point was merely that I met one of them many years ago and presumed he might have earned enough from his work to maybe not work so much anymore, not that he was old enough to retire!!

Thread bump!
ImageRights International is claiming damages for image copyright infringement to Pitpass.com on behalf of the Motorsport Network. Pitpass.com claims that they takeimages from F1 and team media kits. https://www.pitpass.com/65878/Could-...ge-teams-image |

This will also put paid to all the amateur photographers who snap at the GPs. I can see this outfit trawling through Flickr and the like to see who's been posting their pics.

Indeed. There is a rarely used clause on most tickets related to copyright of any images taken being to the benefit of the venue. Quite how that works in the modern era with its predilection for selfies is not entirely clear to me. |

However, this appears to make even the personal pictures a subject of copyright. No doubt they'll be trawling Instagram and snapchat etc. |

So they aren't claiming copyright over images that have been taken by photographers belonging to Sutton or LAT, but they are claiming rights over ALL F1 images regardless of who took the photos?
