Wish I could find it. There were some great articles by an artist who was contacted to work on Popeye revival cartoons. How studios essentially scam freelance artists by making them come up with material, not hire them, then use that material for promotional purposes to pitch future projects.

In addition to all the time wasted attending all those meetings for projects that never ended up paying a single cent, the studio wouldn't even validate his parking...for the building that they owned. When they contacted him again for yet another pitch meeting, he told them he was done meeting with them until they paid him $50, the cost of all his parking there up until that point.
