Issues When you have Others Make Your Site
When you are pressed for time, chances are you will commission web development companies to put up a site for you. But the fact remains, who has the rights to it?
You may be surprised to learn that the firm that did the development work for you may actually be the copyright owner of your web site. If you retained an independent development company or individual to create your site, ownership of your site may be at risk unless you properly contracted with the developer to assign the copyright to you.
In short, you may have paid a lot of money to have your site developed, only to find in the end that the developer, and not you, is the copyright owner.
