[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 7038, member: 16"] I'm posting this in the Varsity section as it is a serious professional matter. I was asked by a local "community access" television outfit to do some sub-contracted audio work for their field shoots. This organization receives the bulk of it's funding from sources other than the clients for whom they provide service: public funding from taxes/grants/etc.. The problem is that they have not learned to say "no" when asked to do jobs which put them in direct competition with folks who run a business providing video production services. Since they have a funding stream apart from the client fees, they can send out a video truck with tech, a director and three cameramen for very little money. The videographers for whom I work at other times of the year have lost business/clients to these people. What I'm wondering is if this is a matter for the City Attorney or the State Attorney General. Professional opinions needed. thanks DR [/QUOTE]
