I really think there is a right way and a wrong way to handle this. I understand your right to post this thread, but on the other hand I think it does more damage to you and Josh. Things happen in life, and when it involves money it simply sucks. I had a client send me a payment for 50.00 on 500.00 bill. It took them 2 months to send me the rest of the money. Things happen, shit happens. I did not go blogging sites with flame threads, I just simply called once a week and wrote once a week. Finally they sent me the check. I had my stress, I had my worries, but in the end it all worked out. It was a private company and it surfaced later that one of the family members had a medical issue, all money and attention was going there. Being a human, I completely understood. I am not corporate American, I am a freelance artist that helps and works with people. Sometimes it does hurt the pocket book a bit, but getting money later is always nice as well, esp when you have other projects that are paying. ;)

In regard to the money, it isn't the main aspect of this thread. Nonetheless, I think the industry is becoming more and more competitive. People working for peanuts as we're very global and wages vary country to country. I also see many designers almost offering to work for free for big firms, and I do not get it totally because that is contributing to how businesses are dealt with in the future. This, becoming a problem for anyone to make a decent living and getting what they are worth.
If the money is peanuts or not, I believe each person has a choice. We all need to make money, but if it isn't right for you than do not accept. Hydro74 isn't obligating you to work on those terms. So those are my thoughts. If less people work for that amount, than the firms and clients will have to agree on other terms...maybe more equal and favorable to both parties.
That is my two cents. I know when I saw the amount I nearly flipped too :) But it is besides the issue.
