DACS Query

edited July 2014 in Writing
Quick query re DACS - the cover image on my book was created by my publisher from a scan of my original artwork and it says in the book 'cover design by XX of XX Publishing based on original artwork by Samantha Newbury' - just want to know if I am eligible to claim for this under DACS or if the cover image (as opposed to my original) is theirs? I figured someone on Talkback would know :)

    Looking at the website and what it says:

    "You can claim for any artwork or photograph that has appeared in a UK book or magazine up until the end of the previous year, so long as you own the copyright. "
