I’m a freelance artist. A client who had me design something for him now wants to have the copyright?
Question by smitty: I’m a freelance artist. A client who had me design something for him now wants to have the copyright?
The client had an idea that I brought to life and is now claiming he should have the copyright to it based on that. I disagree. I brought this his idea to life. We had no contract stating that I was going to sign over any copyright to him. He hired me for this one job and that’s what I did. Why should he have the Copyright to the work? This was never discussed in the beginning of the project.
