My Dataco licence app

kieranmcmanus said:
The one thing I always wasn't sure about when looking at how to get a licence ages ago was - when working at a league ground, for a paper, are you working under their licence? In that's case, are the pictures yours? Someone who worked down in Swansea got denied his application in this instance. Another person who I know did it through non league pictures, on his own non league licence, he just got his licence two weeks ago. It is utter nonsense and a complete catch 22 at times, I hope you get a good outcome.

if you go under a papers licence they own the copyright.. But I have my own conference licence and have had for 6 yrs.. all the games I went to i applied for accreditation under my own steam.. I own the copyright to every pic published thats been sent in.. dataco tried to dispute that.. but i can even show them accreditation requests...

There shouldn't an issue then...i thought you had been doing accrington stanley(who are they?!?!?) - but if the pics are non league and are owned by you, why would they turn you down? It sounds as if everything you've done is the same to the guy I know who had his accepted a few weeks ago - be positive!
 
oh well another long weekend to look forward to... oh hum :)

I am that agency now.. book my own games... :)
 
Sounds like you will be very busy - well done on that Tony.
 
From phil8139 Is it too early to ask what your agency will be called??

Probably KipaxPix, or Tony's Pixtakers.

Cheers everyone.. still high :) Licence is issued in the same name as pics published.. KIPAX PHOTOGRAPHY .. Why would I change it.. although "pixtaker" does have more meaning hahaha You cant show pics published as one name but get the licence in another..
 
Updated dataco list for all press officers just landed in everyones inbox and there I am.. with a bright red NEW next to it :)
 
Well done, good to see someone putting in some hard work and getting rewarded.

Does this just cover FL games or Prem as well?

Well done Tony, just goes to prove if you put in the hard work and are patient you get your rewards sometimes.
