Re: How do you bill for iTunes downloads?

Milton,
I checked out your website and see you have over 400 posts on the COW. Based upon what I have seen, you should know better.

But you're human, so this is your one allowed moment of weakness for the year.

How do you charge a client for an iTunes download? You "just say no."

If the client insists and say "oh, this is just for our sales meeting" then say no again. In-house projects for private viewing will wind up on YouTube within a day. Then you have XYZ company name and WXY song synced up for eternity. Then if the company gets sued or a cease and desist, they will blame you. It is, after all, your job as a vendor to tell the client what they need, and to dissuade them from doing anything you wouldn't.

As Peggy Olsen likes to say "the client doesn't always know what's best."

But you as a vendor do.

If you are as up the river and paddle-free as you appear to be, then you have to talk to the guy who sold you the raft or abandon ship and start dogpaddling.

Good luck.
