Schmap - Anyone Heard of Them?

[viewfromthenorth]

I was contacted by them a year or so back for permission to use some photos in their Manchester guide. I refused, as my stance, as declared on my website, is that anyone who wishes to use my photos for commercial gain, be it press, advertising, magazine or books, will need to compensate me accordingly. Thankfully I've never had to pursue anyone for payment, but I've had to turn down at least one newspaper request.
