But have you tried to enforce that with a client? Do you know that nearly all clients will assume that they own the content you provided outright? I would prefer to be upfront with the client in writing.<BR/><BR/>I have to say that if you ask a client who employs you as a blogger if they own the content, they believe they do! They do not understand the copyright law as a professional writer may who is closer to the situation and may deal with it daily.<BR/><BR/>Why take a chance and have to sue every client you work with, burning bridges in the process? Spell it out and deal with it up front. Don't hide behind jargon and hope the client won't use your content otherwise putting you in a difficult situation. It happens!Nancy McCordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17667303984595845200noreply@blogger.com
