And that, I think, is where the root of the problem lies. I assumed that, as it *didn't* come wrapped up in legalese from a pentax.ca address, it was something far less than a formal arrangement. It sounded to me like somebody with the job of putting together a booth display who wanted to get a broad range of pictures to appeal to the widest audience. I don't think it was really well thought through before the request was made - the predictable touchiness about copyright and credit doesn't seem to have been anticipated - but I don't see it as anything more sinister than that.
