interesting to see the resolution, not sure why he hasn't gone in court right after receiving the first decline from the company

wow, this sounds so much like my experience with "Passion" magazine. I did a photo shoot for the Newsgirls boxing club, and then one of the gals wrote an article for the magazine. I agreed to letting them use the images with a payment of $xx per image x 3 images. They published the images, and after sending an invoice and license agreement, got nothing. I harassed those dude's for months until they finally realized I wasn't going away. Especially when I told them that I have a somewhat knowledgeable background in copyright law, and a close family member was a police detective. I finally received my cheque, and a letter asking me to never contact the company again. No problem, I don't work for dirtbags.

I don't know if this "behaviour" is because of them working with other past photographers who provided their work for free or what not ...

... or whether it's a case of how easy it is to pass along a digital file. I'm kinda guessing a bit of both, and both are wrong.

Typical. They didn't know the source of the image and didn't want to know, so didn't ask. That way they could later claim ignorance which is, of course, no excuse.
