Actually stock website are not cash cow, let’s say that help with the montly budget. As far as the footage that I’ve uploaded, it’s more a payback for them. I was underpayed and most of all they insult me, professionally speaking. So it become a bit personal for me.
This people start this project without a script, as I asked for. And they really have no clue about how to make a video, but as they payed me, the pretend to know everithing, from videoediting to graphics. So the job continue for 2 months, getting back everyday email with changes that they want on the video, and of course, as was a close budget, not be payed for that. So, is not really the matter of how much money i will do with this footage. -
I’m a legal EU resident; I’ve worked for 20 years as a film director; and I’ve become a digital nomad. I’m not stealing your jobs, I’m here to ask about a dispute with a client. Thank you for your comment, though.

And my legal defense in not strong. I don’t have a laywer and also I don’t have a residency as I live, work and travel with my van. Kind of complicated!

I did not bought the lenses, but after the shooting they told me to don’t send them back.

Seems that is not simple at all.
Let’s take another example. I got some footage on Stock site: a close up of my wife’s hands typing on a keyboard. You can reconize that is an Aplle product by the desing but there is no logo or brand. And this kind of footage is totally fine.
After I finish the video for this company, they did not want the lenses back. So in a way, I’ve become the owner. What could stop me to organize another shooting and use the same lenses for some extra footage?
