^^ there's an interesting side to OSFA's situation. Why is it not ok for the client to own the design - and let you or another designer develop it later on, as the business takes new shapes? After all, a design is made for a particular client and it is part of his assets. But of course, everybody would hate that - dropping off of a gig and having another team working on your stuff - but (imagine) the other team is respectful of your job and tries to improve it? I think then we would be on what Anders would call a "positive rip-off?". Thing is ideas are dear and are the designer's asset, so no one evens considers with pleasure having another person profiting from your work - but that is contraditory to the aim and nature of design itself. A little bit contraditory at least.
- why would the client own any rights if they never pay for them???OSFA
- hey sorry - I was talking about done & paid for work - not ideas that they steal from comps. that is a felony.
Corvo - I have misread your situation.Corvo
- no prob, and yes, they pretty much stole our comps. They never paid for them and used them three months later.OSFA
