Mr G did some work for Sam in the early 90’s. As a studio owner, we sometimes had a hard time getting paid.... and this was one of those times. After a number of conversations and promises and then the refusal to answer calls for what was really a very small amount of money, I finally sent them a letter stating.....
“Failure to pay the bill by (a date within 2 weeks) constitutes permission for (our studio) to use any and all materials in our possession in any way we so desire.”
All of a sudden I got a call back!!! Mrs. Sam, (his manager) was furious and made the announcement she would never work with us again (like I need more deadbeat clients) and all kinds of threats, but she did in fact pay the waaaay overdue bill. With the check cashed, she demanded I send them their property. I was happy to announce we had absolutely nothing of theirs in our possession.
what a great story....Tnx
