But they forced the PR person to withdraw their award entries. Is that how freelancing works? Can the work only be submitted for an award in the name of the client?

I think it's more the "you have no right to talk about your role". I have no experience with the world of freelancing so feel free to correct me, but that seems like a pretty important part of getting future work.
Also when the person saying "you have no right to talk about your role" is someone who's clearly a dodgy little shitbag, people are more likely to side with the PR person. I mean, how badly do you need to fuck up where the public are in overwhelming support of the PR person? I guess claiming to be a PR person who did the actual PR person's work is an answer.

I don't really want to defend the Ingram-Moore folks, but I'm not sure how folks could get that wound up about them 'taking credit' for the services of a freelancer.
It's literally how freelancing works - you do the work, you get paid. That's kind of it.
Unless it's not freelancing, in which case, pay yo' fucking taxes!
Read like the kind of article published in the Sun's 'serious pages' in the 90s. But it gets irate eyeballs, so.
