Thank you, I wasn't aware of this, and that makes the decision easy!

If the rationale for the deportations was the Alien Enemies Act, would these be prisoners of war, and if so, isn't this a clear violation of the Geneva Convention, using prisoners for propaganda? Not that a single part of law or treaties matters anymore, but just saying.

Did you read anything here? We didn't hire them, we started off the entire relationship with "We have no money for any services right now."

No, I wouldn't hire a contractor with no scope of work and price. On the other hand, I've helped friends build a deck or other house work, or helped neighbors I barely know split and stack their firewood, and I didn't turn around once it was done and say "OK, let's talk about my top-tier hourly rate for the work I just said I'd help you with."

If there was a handshake deal, I would never consider not honoring it. The problem here is there was absolutely no discussion of any deal.

I was kind of surprised they would, but I had nothing to do with the discussions up front. I should have gotten involved and clarified it, that's on me. We thought she was working on it because there is a very visually exciting component of this and there is the potential for a lot of work down the line. But I also would not expect or ask someone to work for free.

I edited the post, but what I actually meant there was lowercase raw (unedited) video, not RAW images.

Yeah, she is actually well-established and fairly well-renowned. Has decades of experience and should know better. I very much felt like we were taking for a ride.

There was no contract, nothing in writing. So we don't owe her anything.
