The CEO is a real douchebag.

Those of you who are starting to deal with companies with your photos beware and make sure you always get paid. (getting paid in product only counts if it’s at cost value (not retail) and it’s something you need (as opposed to something you have to resell. )

Mizu, you have a valid point for life in general, but in this case, if the photog just rolls over then the company considers it normal, and will rip off the next photog and the next etc. If the photog follows it through and the company gets stung, then they will be a lot more careful with copyright infringement in the future. This is a good thing.
