I think that is greedy. The guy charges $20 a page and now you want him to get equity as well? Why? You are advocating he gets paid his full rate. An equity deal would only work if you were either (a) paying him well below his rate, and/or (b) you knew that you just had to have this one person's work above all others. It doesn't make sense in this case to ask for equity for $100 deal lol

It always makes sense to ask for equity in a scenario like this. If you do not ask for it, you will certainly NOT receive it. Additionally, I was trying to give him some general purpose practical advice. Charging $20/page is really undervaluing his work. Additionally it seems that the business idea guy does HAVE to have his work, as he doesn't seem to have many options or other people to go to.
