the ramifications of this are huge, I think. at least to my little mind.

photographer A submits a picture. photogB steals it, submits it elsewhere and starts making money off of it. B gets caught. does he pay restitution? do they pursue it legally? (and my big question) will A get the payment that was rightfully hers to begin with?


You and I think alike... not to scare you


I believe this is why the stock agencies maintain a payout minimum -- it takes a while to sell enough to get a check, and hopefully frauds are found long before they actually GET the money earned.

That's nice wishful thinking, teammate :-) The reason they maintain a payout minimum is that otherwise they'd be cutting a gazillion tiny checks every day and the administrative overhead would eat them alive.

I just heard back from Lisa Gagne, and she thanks all of us for keeping an eye out like this; she had no idea it was happening.
