Reproduction charging models & rights policy for digital images in American art museums A Mellon Foundation study by Simon Tanner, 2004http://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/files/48081293/USMuseum_SimonTanner.pdf

Is control over the way an image of an artwork owned by the museum is used, represented and credited the most important priority to the museum?

Is the fidelity of the image to the original artwork as important a priority as controlling its use?

Is promotion of the museum’s collections as important a priority? Does scholarly and educational use of an artwork (especially one in the

public domain) ever contradict or supersede the need to control its representation and use?

Does serving the internal needs of the museum ever contradict or supersede the need to control the representation of artworks?

Does recouping service costs or making a surplus ever contradict or supersede the need for control? Is there a sum of money at which the museum would relax such control?

Are providing high fidelity images with an appropriate license for the museum and the wider communities use more important than how much the service costs to run?
