The complaint I keep seeing is that some think he should get a portion of the profits. Unfortunately, that's not how it works. I've had this issue with potential models in the past. They think that since they are going to be in videos, they should get royalties. My issue with that is I spend about 90 hours a week working on my site - editing, coding, promoting, fighting piracy, shooting, etc. They work for 8 hours and feel like that entitles them to 10%.
Same seems to apply to the Rearz situation. The artist spent a specific amount of time on designs. In my experience with artists, that could vary from one to several hours. Meanwhile, Rearz is spending countless hours on all of the things that go into manufacturing adult diapers. They put up all the money and take all the risk. When the diaper is produced, they have to take orders, fill orders, ship orders, deal with customer service, promotion, etc. Overhead is also a killer; storage, shipping, utilities, employees...
You get the idea. Why would someone that worked for a couple days be entitled to profit sharing of a project that requires constant attention? If he was given profit sharing, would he also be liable if the diaper wasn't profitable? Diapers take up a lot of room and warehouse space isn't cheap. If they don't sell fast enough, Rearz can find themselves operating at a net loss. Would the artist then be liable for his share of any losses?
Sorry for the rant. I'm just tired of people expecting utopian results without understanding all the intricacies involved.
