If you show any halfway decent lawyer any contract they will have an opinion on the strengths and weaknesses of the contract and suggest changes. Law is more of an art than a science and open to interpretation, that\'s what judges are for!... Looks like he found some loopholes to question, you could consider yourself lucky that he didn\'t exploit them to his advantage, but told you about them so you could change them if needed.
I see that you said \"I\'m not giving away my art\", ok then put a price on it!
Counter offer and see what they say. Would 2x the fee make you happier?
What is the value to you, are you going to license the pics to DeBeers or the Acme Wedding Dress Co? Are they valuable for stock sales?
Maybe he\'s a SOB, PITA lawyer that you don;t want to work with anyway.
Maybe he saw that you had a holey contract written by an Uncle Bob or cobbled together from various internet websites. Maybe that\'s helpful I dunno.
Sounds like you made up your mind but it\'s a interesting scenario.
