Hi, folks.
This isn't a design question, or a programming one. But I'm dealing with a client -- concerning a flash web site -- who has a team of people deliberating over my standard design contract. The one member who is most technically savvy insists they own the copyrights to the site; my typical arrangement is to keep copyrights and transfer usage rights to teh client. As a compromise, they want to have me put the source code in escrow in a bank, who will release it back to me should I need it for further redesign, etc.
I have two questions:
1) has anyone ever heard of this before? Is this common?
2) how do YOU handle flash source code for paying clients? Who holds the copyright?
Thanks for any tips or advice you can offer.
