If I contract a graphic designer to do a book cover for me, and supply her with the exact drawing, colors, and materials to use for the : : project,book cover, and am very specific from beginng to end as the art director, then I assume because of my right to intellectual property(this was my idea and drawing) that I : : have a right to half (joint)the copyright, or the entire copyright, if she was contracted. If there is no contract and everything is verbal, isn't that true? : : Best wishes and Thank you : : Debbie : Dear Debbie, : You had better have everything spelled out in a written agreement that properly cover what you want and need. : M.
