As for your smooth dealings with Kim Nielsen, it seems you're not the only one whose interactions with him are all unicorns farting rainbows. Over the past year or two, agents have told me he not only pays them on time and in full, but also remunerates the models for his POV site at about double the normal going rate, which is obviously extremely generous. Also, some of the models hired for that site have gushed about how nice he was, particularly for the Vuitton bags and other such gifts that he bought them, and for the luxury accommodations and high end restaurants they patronized while on location in places like Hawaii, Las Vegas, and even some destinations in the Far East.

Bearing all this in mind, I must admit it seems beyond the realm of credibility that he would be stiffing his content producers. So perhaps those shooters who are whining about not getting paid for months and years are just like the actors and actresses in the two porn features Kim made (at ~$200,000 and ~$300,000 respectively) who complained they didn't get their promised residuals--they're just malcontents.
Well that explains where photographers monies are going. We stopped shooting for people unless they can pay 100% up front. Ripped off too many times. We produce top shelf content in "the far east." The hassles involved are not worth the pittance or jerking around you sometimes get from dick bags.
I think Barry said it. If you have not been paid what is owed you still own the content. Most likely. Of course, check with a lawyer.
