Re: FLASH: who owns the fla?

[Michael Penne]

On the other hand, think of it like a photograph, many

pros. retain rights to negatives even for commisioned

work. Its something to be negotiated in the contract,

and I do think that its fair to charge more for both

the .swf (the print) and rights to the .fla (the

negative), than for the .swf alone.
