Off Topic / Weird (former) designer-client issue
« on: October 04, 2011, 15:16 »
I currently have a client who is getting harassed by their former designer. That designer is saying that the client can not use any of the graphics that the designer created for them (and the client paid for) because they were copyrighted by the designer. Has anyone ever heard of this before? How can this possibly be legal? That designer is also harassing other designers (not me...yet) who the client has hired to do work, claiming they can't use any of the designs to create work for that person either.
I honestly don't even know how this designer can claim that. Who would sell designs to someone and then not allow them to use any of it? Anyone know if there are *any* legal grounds or precedents here?
