Re: FLASH: Ownership

[Webmaster]

Hi,


.fla ownership is  a common Q here on the list, so you may find A in

previous mails.

IMO, if you work for a company as an employee (not as a freelancer), the

source code is theirs. They didn't hired you for a specific outcome, but

bought your time (OK, its I see things a bit B/W, but that's the point).

Also, imagine what would be, if every (leaving) employee could pick up

his/her source, and the next should start from sketch.

But, your source is also *yours*. And you have to use your source for

further projects, the build better and better sites, etc. But not with the

exactly same design / code.

So - both owns the .fla.


That's the case -  unless if you have a work contract, that's clearly

defines this question.


(I'm not a lawyer, that's just my IMO. I worked as a coder, and now I run a

little web studio so I may can see both sides).


Regards,


Aaron
