Well, in all my time in the industry, I have never even considered
holding a Master Reel, so I don't know how that would fly these days.
Besides, what would the DS freelancer do, walk away with the Nitris hardware
until a check is cut? I can see the client now: "Sure, take the
master, we'll just take the tape cost out of your day rate and get some monkey
to output us a new master." Good luck working with them again. Our
industry is built largely on trust and reputation. Taking certain
precautions and knowing who you are dealing with should keep most
individuals out of trouble.
