Dog eat dog is a dangerous game... Often, unethical practices will result in a short term gain, but come back to bite you later.
At the risk of, again, being labeled judgmental... my observation is that the most cut-throat, win at all costs, photographers are often the least adept at business. There's a certain balance, as inadequate business skills are balanced (or are tried to be balanced) with grim determination.
I own two businesses. A successful photography studio, and a couture bridal boutique. I'm not just being combative, there's experience behind the opinions...
Bella has had a run of unethical tactics and is still suffering the stigma. Thing is, they can brunt it a lot better than the little guy since they have lot more standing behind them.
