OK, the first rule is: **** If you used content without permission of the owner you have to pay the owner's asking price for that use. The first use without permission is not excusable. APPLIED RETRO-ACTIVELY, meaning that you pay up even though this "rule" was not in place at the time of transgression. This rule is to be applied on moral grounds and not only on legal grounds. The payments are to be made on the transgressor's initiative, meaning that the transgressor must contact the owners of the content and ask how much the owner wants for the use, and then immediately make that payment. **** For example, my own rate is $1000 for the first instance, and $500 per video per any part of a day. They used 11 of my videos and used them for at least part of one day, so the total they owe me is $6000. If they can afford to buy fancy prizes for cute models, they can afford to pay up right away. They can send that $6000 directly to my paypal account: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To speak frankly to the people at MyHeavy: there are no defensible moral grounds for taking something that does not belong to you, no matter how slight or great the value, your intent, awareness, or excuses! Step up to the plate and take responsibility for your actions. Whether or not you follow the rule above will be a clear indication your character. John Leeke
