The immature, uneducated & disrespectful "staff" at this "magazine"?
Hopefully, this little fiasco will cost them enough, monetarily & in reputation, that they never do something so ill-advised again.

No. He wants compensation for the use of his image in a major marketing campaign. If TCR wanted to use a smartphone picture, they probably could have approached another spectator.

While I agree that the demands listed were ridiculous, he does have every right to be properly paid for & credited for his photo. They obtained his limited permission in order to obtain the image file. Then they used that file, uncredited & unauthorized, in a massive marketing campaign, including corporate sponsorships. Now, what information I'd like to know is what, if any, agreement did he sign when giving TCR permission to use his photo on Facebook. TCR, and its legal team, may have already had their butts covered with a broad release, which he may have signed without reading.

They might want to hang on to some of it for the lawsuits in 20 years from people breathing in all of that.

They used his image for a major marketing campaign in a retail chain. That's neither inadvertent nor harmless.
