Can I Get Legal Help?
Advance Notes : “The check’s in the mail.” It’s not that you’ll hear this often, but if you experience slow payment or no payment, there is help.
As a freelancer in the field of photo research, some of your clients have been known to pay their electricians, plumbers, and gardeners before they get around to paying their researchers. When you inquire about slow payment, these companies have been known to refer you to their accounting department. The response there frequently is, “The check’s in the mail.”
After a few months of e-mail exchange, and still no payment, you decide to go the legal route.
Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts is good organization to start with. They have volunteers in most major cities. They're willing to help individuals in the creative arts, but for regular customers, they charge regular fees. Their advantage: they are accustomed to dealing in this area of “intellectual properties.” If your situation evolves to a point where it looks pretty certain that you’ll get a settlement, you could ask the attorney to work on a contingency basis. The National VLA address is 1 East 53rd St 6th Fl, New York NY 10022 (1 212 319 2787 or FAX: 1 212 752 6575).
TO THE RESCUE
Or you might want to try Small Claims court. This is an education in itself. Most cities have a limit in Small Claims, usually between $1,000 and $3,500. You’ve probably heard that you have to personally appear in the court jurisdiction of the defendant. However, if the defendant company or business has a presence in a city near you, you can make your claim in that city.

Sidebar – Blogging By Mikael Karlsson Advance Notes: One way to add both text and relevance to your freelance photo research business is to add a Blog to your digital arsenal. A Blog is an on-line public journal where you can comment on any topic you wish, post photos and link to other similar blogs. Links in to your website play a major role in how your site ranks in search engines. In Google, you can find out who links to your site. In the Google search field, type: “links: yoursite.com.” (You put the name of your website where it says “yoursite.”) The second most important thing for your website ranking, is relevant text that is kept up to date. A Blog can add both text and relevance to your website. THE PRICE IS RIGHT Getting your own blog is both fast and easy. Select one of the free services* and you can’t beat the price. Blogger.com and LiveJournal.com are two of the most popular services offering blogs. ######################

PhotoResearcher's Newsletter Note: If the URL is long, it may extend to two lines. In that case - clicking on it won't work. Instead, "copy and paste" the URL. GETTY TO EMPHASIZE EDITORIAL STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY Getty Images Has Agreed to Be Bought by Private Equity Firm for about $2.1B. While Getty didn't give a specific reason for its January decision to seek a buyer, a spokesman said it was likely because Getty felt Wall Street was paying more attention to the stagnating core business (RF)than to its emerging segments(RF). Getty's editorial offerings -- news, sports and celebrity photos for the media – has grown recently. http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080225/getty_images_sale.html?.v=11
