Er.... no. Not as a seasoned writer used to actual monetary payment. Persistent invoicing has helped recoup some of the money owed. <br /><br />I do think it's especially important for those who provide a lot of free web-content on their websites to defend their work.

I'll send them an invoice if you like on your behalf. A major company is using your work and your name and your content to make money from you and relies on the affected - you - not being bothered when it happens.

(That said, I thought their response after the event was pretty shit) <br /><br />But it's a different situation to this. This is worse in many ways - the paper knows exactly what it's doing. But that's also the reason why there's no point trying to do anything.
