Photographic industry

i'm a member of the AOP (association of photographers) they helped draught the copyright designs and patent act 1998. they are very active in promoting proper licensing of images and IP (intellectial property).
this isn't a bad thing. if you are dealing with large businesses they will have proper paperwork for their contracts, just because you are a sole trader shouldn't preclude you from doing likewise.
put another way: I only got ripped off once. :-)

i was not saying you where wrong, just friendly piss taking.
