Who Owns The Copyright Of Your Web Site
Who Owns The Copyright Of Your Web SiteHello.
My thinking with this has always been that the clients pays for the site so we should assign them the copyright of the site we develop. Seems simple enough.
I then had a slight change of mind in an effort to provide better security for our client's web site and to be better able to grow my business - read my thoughts on that here.
And I've just come across this Information Sheet: Websites: Creating and publishing on the Internet (it's a pdf file).
Copyright ownership of websites is an important issue. Are you comfortable with the ownership of your site?

Brendon

I'd like to think they will stay with me long term, but it isn't necessarily so and this seems to give maximum flexibility.
By giving them the freedom to leave, I like to think I will encourage them to stay :)
But, no, I don't hand over the copyright.
