LOL.. good thread.

It's standard policy to charge for PSD's. We have some larger clients who we openly supply them to.. however these clients have given us consistant repeat work over time. They won't take the PSD's and create a new site out of them. They use it for simple changes to the existing site.

In our mainstream work, It's not even an issue. I had one client ask me, up front, if he could negotiate the price down on the source files so his in-house designers could edit the work for future projects. He knew there was a cost associated with the source files, it's common practice in mainstream.

The Adult industry is different. Everyone is used to getting things for free or paying pennies on the dollar for a hard days work. As business changes, that mindset will have to evolve. You pay for not only work, but value. If you just pay for work, you will lose the longterm value of a relationship.
