A tale of two license transfers.

One is a big client who kept all his paperwork and run a tight ship. He's selling and moving out of adult. Simple job to just issue new licenses to the new owners. No charge.

Second one is a bit more complicated. Someone bought a site with content from someone who has since died, who bought it from someone else. So the third owner is now selling up and can't sell because they have no paperwork or clue about the original buyer of the legitimacy of the content. No 2257 or license. To make things worse, some of the sites don't seem to allow access to the members area.

So I have to scour every site, every collection of sets and videos, recognise our content, then find the set number and write a new license. So far been at it 6 hours as I had no idea of the work involved, I under charged them.

I'm soldiering on. Wish I had charged more though. Going to relax in the garden, been at this since 8.00 this morning after 3 hours yesterday.

Anyone who thinks I should do this for free can STFU.
