Photo agencies to boycott Oasis tour over rights restrictions

Exclusive: Move comes after band's management says rights to concert images will last for only one year

Photo agencies are to boycott the rest of the Oasis reunion tour, including the first homecoming" gig in Manchester on Friday, over restrictions imposed on how newspapers, magazines, TV broadcasters and digital publishers can use pictures from the gigs.

The band's management has told photo agencies and publishers that they own the rights to shots taken at the concerts for just a year, and then they will lose ownership of the images for any future use.
