I ...I just wanted to leave a comment to say thanks. I googled "freelancer legal rights payment" and found your site. I find that your advice about payment and invoicing applies to freelance writing as well. And I plan to read up on copyrights and the business end of photography just in case I ever sell a photo of mine. Your site is absolutely fantastic, thanks!<BR/><BR/>Dianne Folkerth<BR/>AustinDiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305909546927546592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904006.post-30862342409416299222007-03-08T17:47:00.000-06:002007-03-08T17:47:00.000-06:00You can go the legal route on any amount you choos...You can go the legal route on any amount you choose. To me, it's not worth the headache unless there's $2K+ involved (unless it's a "justice" issue).<BR/><BR/>BTW, your birds aren't dead. They're hangin' down here and catching some rays in the palm trees. They'll split in a few weeks. :-)Mark M.

This is your "proof" of ownership. They issue your images a number, which equates to the ability to sue for damages.
