All photography, IMO should be a "work for hire" proposition... but for some reason, many people want to do something once, and get paid for it for all eternity over and over again. Cal Street could be sued by you if SHE sold that photo, but of course, you wouldn't dare. It's my opinion that at the very least, copyright law should be changed so as to grant unlimited rights to use of a photograph by the people who are actually IN the photograph, but you won't see that happen anytime soon. So what he saying, Grape... is he want us to pay him to look at his pictures of the Velvelettes. I wonder if the gals get a cut. You can bet they don't.
