I read a seriously worrying post on Karyn Greenstreet’s blog today about how to be absolutely sure that you own the website you hired someone to produce for you.
She was talking in the context of US law but I think we should all read her post and the associated articles and then go and find out what the applicable law is in the country where we do business.
But here’s another thought: what law applies ? The law of the country where your business is based or the law of the country where the web designer is based ? and if the latter then what happens if they outsource to a designer based in yet another country – given the extensive use of Elance for outsourcing these days ???
Karyn’s post is: Who own’s your website ?
