RE: FN-FORUM Rights of a site

as far as I'm aware, unless a contract states differently, the creator of
the artwork, website, music, words, whatever owns the copyright.

Subject: FN-FORUM Rights of a site


We've recently turned off a site due to non payment and inspite of our
offers of good will to clear up the debt the client has still not offered
anything in return. Unfortunately the contract is a bit of rubbish drawn up
by a complete fool and does not say anything about the digital rights of the
site artwork and files. It does go on about the database which is part of
the site and the licencing of the data and does state clearly that this
cannot be altered, copied, redistributed etc by the client but nothing about
the appearance or interface.

Who has the rights on the files?
They've approached a third party to host the files and want them, I've
offered them with a release fee and they are contesting that fee.
Considering they breached the contract by non payment don't I have the
rights to tell them to stick it?
Anybody have any words of advice on this...

Please...
