(your words) etc etc as well as insult the intelligence of those who have been in this biz for a very long time, you are attacking people.
as i said... all you had to do was simply say "i do it a different way because" and no one would care and everyone could easily understand. its not a huge surprise that everyone in mainstream typically keeps the files, or at least tries to. you seem unwilling to grasp the fact that people can agree to anything they want and adult has always done business this way... mostly because they are webmasters and have a working knowledge of photoshop and html anyway.
for mainstream stuff, i have never paid anyone for anything where it was not agreed that i would get the psd's. that includes our magazine for womens health and fitness. its just bad business. its bad business for someone that doesn't need to go back to the same guy to make mundane and simple changes. its bad business to let someone else hold you and your project hostage because they are busy or on vacation or because they disappeared. its totally absurd... and everyone except a couple designers agree with that.
