We actually had a pretty rousing discussion about this a while back. I thought it was under the subject of ethics but a search of the archives turned up nothing. Anybody else remember that? I think that the short answer to your question is make sure you have a contract. NEVER work w/o one and have it prepared by an attorney. I think that the conclusion that we reached was once you hand over your work your client owns it.
