Hey Nic & al;

When the photographer took my wedding pictures (digital camera,
of course), and we got together a week later to go over them,
The final bill was like $900 for his work (about 4 hours worth),
and another $200 for the full set of prints. (might have been more
or less - I don't remember).

I told him I don't want the prints. All I want is either a DVD
with all the photos on it or access to download them to my computer.

Here we go: [P = photographer] [M = me]

P: I can't do that.
M: Why?
P: Because they're copyrighted.
M: ???
M: What do you mean, "they're copyrighted"?
P: They're my "intellectual property".
M: ???
M: I dunno about that. They may have been taken by you, but
    they are of me and my wife.
P: (blank stare).
M: Tell yah what: you give me a DVD and you save the time of
    printing all the pictures, and I save $200.
P: I can't do that.
M: (now I'm getting cranked-off).
M: OK - here's my final offer: If you don't give me a DVD,
    I'm NOT GOING TO PAY YOU, and since I haven't signed a release,
    if you publish the pictures I'll sue you into the next dimension!
P: (no comment).
M: (getting up to leave) Ball's in your court - and remember: I had
    plenty of friends there that were taking the important pictures,
    as well as the silly ones - and they'll give 'em to me for free.

Got my DVD.

Of course, I brought my laptop when I picked it up to make sure that
it loaded all the pix onto my HDD.

That might not work with FedEx/Kinkos - but it did work on him! :-)

UE,
W6ESE - tony
