there are NO reasons not to pay immediately as long as content was shot according to the specifications. because the shooter has already paid everything he needed to pay in advance and needs the money back. plus he needs money to live and to be able to do the next shoots.

That would be the ideal world obviously, unfortunately it does not always work that way, I'm not talking just with content but in general. I can totally relate to the photographer as our business model is very similar, we pay upfront to our clients and get paid months after by the telecoms so his scenario is far from unknown to me.
I'm not taking any sides as I don't know the full story behind, neither does anyone else on the board it seems so the entire discussion is based on speculations.
Keep in mind also that neither of us actually know if the content was shot according to the customer specifications, as the photographer mention there was some errors on both sides which obviously should have been resolved a long time ago.
Regardless of the reason it's good to see it's getting resolved
