Unless the b3ta imagehas been created using entirely original drawings or photographs, then the b3tan who made has no claim over the copyright of the image. You cannot claim ownership of an image you made by cobbling together stuff you found on a google image search.
Even with completely original work, although you may technically hold copyright over the work you create, you still need to be able to fund legal action to prove this. And the magazine publishers have more lawyers and deeper pockets than you.
Also, they have actually been asking for permission recently.

Really? I know documentaries that use copyrighted footage have trouble, but do collages?And I wonder how much they could really be bothered to get their lawyers involved.
And I think you can get a lawyer involved if there's money for him to make in the process.

I don't believe this is correct.A collage can be created from external work and still stand as an original piece in its own right.
I suspect it would be grist for the lawyers.
Edit: Ahhh, the gentle touch of mindpiss.
