And that, I think, is where the root of the problem lies.
I assumed that, as it *didn't* come wrapped up in legalese
from a pentax.ca address, it was something far less than a
formal arrangement. It sounded to me like somebody with the
job of putting together a booth display who wanted to get a
broad range of pictures to appeal to the widest audience.
I don't think it was really well thought through before the
request was made - the predictable touchiness about copyright
and credit doesn't seem to have been anticipated - but I don't
see it as anything more sinister than that.
Funny, I assumed that since it didn't come wrapped up in legalese, and
knowing how much Pentax (acrros the board) communicates with it's customers,
that it must be modus operandi. I saw nothing sinister either.
