- dkrich 13y agoTrue, but if he can prove he created them, he has a copyright on the work just by creating it.
- knice 13y agoI was thinking the same thing. Always, always, always have a contract in place. I really feel for this guy, but the way this went down, he provided them with his best work on the hope they would then reasonably compensate him. A contract, negotiated up-front, might have prevented the agency from taking advantage of him.
