However, let me indulge in a little paranoia spreading: No matter how "tight" the contract is, there still can be leaks that can be hard to prosecute. Two examples, both are awful, one adds one more touch of ridiculous to a notorious dictator. 1)A person I met, a TV puppeteer here in Montreal, found out that a show she performed for was airing in a european country. They never received any checks, although they were supposed to earn rights for every episode that aired. She tried to talk to whoever in charge, but there was nothing concrete they were willing to do, contrary to what they said, nothing was happening. Having no fortune to spend on international lawyers, and no real support from her ex team members, the burden became too big for herself alone, and she dropped the fight after over a year of efforts. 2) Saddam Hussein stole images of paintings, years ago, to put on the cover of and inside one of his novels. The painter from the US tried to sue, but the crime having occured in Irak, there was no way to prosecute. In this case, no contract, but hey, it's still funny to think of a dictator writing romance novels. link to the story: http://www.jonathonart.com/saddam.html also check out the rest of the site, his fantasy portrait/landscapes are very well-done.
