“…I’ve ALWAYS been a stickler for written contracts, the whole work for hire issue has never been an issue for me.”
Don,
Same here. I am the same way. However, when you work with really big companies it’s rare they’ll go with ‘your agreement or contract’. Main things I fight for are the payment schedule and the right to show completed material for my company’s promotions. Most times I don’t have problems with the latter. On rare occasions especially with the big outfits, they’ll get lazy on the payment schedule if you don’t stay on them. I quit working with one of those because their idea of ’30 Days’ was more like ‘whenever we get around to it.’
