Congrats on the pic Tan, but you are living on a different planet to those who value their work in financial terms. Any time a photo is published, it should be paid for, regardless of how much the original cost was. If you own the copyright, you collect the fee. Do you think the managers of the newspaper dig into their own pockets when taking a nice lunch at their club, complete with champagne? They'll be toasting you though! Sorry to be harsh.
