So out of a total bill of $30,880 he's paid $28,380 which is 92% of the bill. And yet he still does not legally own the content because he doesn't have the work for hire form.

And let's say the other shooter was paid $1,100 out of a total of $2,880. And the second shooter hasn't signed a work for hire either.

Those facts might possibly change things, wouldn't they?
