    Puck,

    I think you said it best. I can't get the publisher involved and that would only hurt me. I know alot about copyright laws and the client actually did use photos without a license so my next move is probably to sue for infringement which would be a much steeper penalty than the $1000 that he owes. In fact the work appeared in the NY Times so I may be able to get a lot for it. HOWEVER, the catch is this: Do I have an infringement case if I was the one who submitted the work to the NY Times? Can I sue for infringement simply because I havent been paid for the job? Probably not, huh?
