Hi, I am running courses over the Internet and ask each prospective client to accept our conditions regarding our ownership of the course material. I have a client now from a corporate education unit of a large company who insists that our copyright conditions constitute a contract and their corporate purchasing department does not allow individuals to enter into Service Agreements. We have never had anyone refuse the acceptance of our IP related conditions for the use of the course material and we do not understand why it is such a problem to them. If we allow them to access the course material without them explicitly acknowledging our ownership of the course IP, could they use our course material without breaching the law? Would we have a case that a lawyer would take on as an easy win against them for the copyright law breach? We are a small business and could not afford to fight expensive legal battles. Thanks, Margaret
