Owning the domain is not the same as owning the site or code behind the site.  We've had few occassions where a client tried to stiff us and while he could change domains, we still could hold his code hostage.  Even if the code was partially or mostly paid for, the developer or company behind the code could still retain it.

  I'm not a lawyer but who is listed as owning the domain? If it is under
  his name then he may win if he took legal action. If it is in your name
  and there was no written agreement between the 2 of you then I don't
  think there is much he can do.

  Ok, a client of mine has gone nuts. He is an agent for a few
  celebrities,
  and I had offered to create a site for one of his clients free-of-charge
  provided I was the one running the site. He has now decided to go to
  another
  designer, and wants me to give him the site, which as I said he has not
  paid
  for.

  Now, there is no written contract saying that I would do it for him
  free-of-charge, so I guess he has me there. But at the same time, since
  there is no contract saying I would do it free-of-charge, since he
  hasn't
  paid me, he is not entitled to the site. I told him if he wanted to pay
  me
  for the work, I would give it to him, but he keeps threatening me of
  legal
  action. Am I wrong here or is he really entitled to the site? Anyone
  know
  anything about the law in this case?

  Cedric
