RE: FN-FORUM contract issue

If either (a) or (b) is true, then an old law from the Wild West comes
into force. "Possession is 9 tenths of the law". You could try to bully
them into giving up the source files, but from previous experience with
a similar problem, they have nothing to gain from helping you and
possibly something to gain from not helping you.

My advice is, go back to the drawing board and whip up something
original and better than their crummy flash stuff. You can probably do
something to impress the client here.

Subject: FN-FORUM contract issue

I have a potential client that needs a Flash site updated. To do this I
need
the original .fla files, however the agency that originally worked on
the
site have the files and say they have right of ownership.

I checked if rights to ownership was written in to the original
contract,
and my (potential) client is not sure if there was even a contract.
Therefore what rights does he have to get the .flas if either:

a) There was never a contract

b) There was a contract but nothing was stated with regards to ownership

TIA,

Adrian.
