I concur with your point. TCR should have paid him (and probably did) some reasonable sum for using his image so much. Having had Pentax feature one of my photos on their Facebook stream, I'd be honored to see it used in marketing, but would hope they'd give me a call ahead of time and offer me some Pentax stickers or something.
My reaction to this is pretty visceral because I've tried to get paid photography gigs (architectural) and I have seen potential clients shy away from hiring a photographer because a previous one came after them for image use. Or, in one case, the tog licensed them the photos for a limited number of uses for one year and expected to have rolling income from the company every time his photo was used after that. I'm friends with the marketing manager at that firm and they won't hire me a photographer because of their past experience with one guy. That company is what I think about when I see a construction firm market itself with an un-level PnS photo that has a building that looks like its falling over. Photographres who conduct themselves poorly leave a bad taste is clients' mouths for every other photographer they could possibly ever work with.

That's the kind of photographer who makes becoming a professional difficult. That little nimwit's unrealistic and fantasy-driven demands only show his ridiculous narcisisim, sense of entitlement, and an ego that couldn't be contained by any force in the universe. I am 100% of Color Run's side here and I hope that their agreement with the photographer included no money and everyone who works for the organization getting to kick him in the gonads. Hard.
