Ya know what I really don't like about the content providing side of this business, is when you can tell there are disputes going on between webmasters, mostly cause nobody wants to lose clients to another provider and they go and bash a guy to make everyone paranoid. I sense that's the case here cause its sounding that way.

I've bought content on occasion where a photographer will e-mail saying that's his content and I didn't buy it from him and then you show him the papers with his sig authorizing someone else to broker it that you bought it from which he forgot he signed a couple years back and then the case is closed. Theres so many brokers, photographers, middlemen, sponsors providing content they had bought, etc. that its impossible for anyone to really know who is the real rightful owner.

All I say is if someone provides me documentation showing they have resell rights and it shows valid signatures, the original model releases and IDs, etc. then thats as good as you can obtain, and you've met your due diligence, until you find out otherwise.
