Scott, sorry to disagree with you but I remember a games programmer (in Melb I think ) about 3 or so years ago that lost his IP of a kick-ass game he made at home while making games for the company he was employed for. went ot court and he lost. the story goes that he was using ideas, processes, etc that was inspired by his day job. Any outside work/product had to be approved by his work and that outside work was in fact owned by his employer. It was actually written into his contract as such, as it is for me...(got a copy of your old contract, Scott? have a close look - you'll be surprised) 2) <quote src="M@ Bourke"> I've done contract work before where the contract stated along the lines of its all owned by them, and when I finish the project I have to hand them all the source code and delete any copy's I have etc. </quote> I've heard that, for contractors au fait with "enlightened" contract conditions, the product belongs to the "owner" (employer) while the developed code libraries the contractor can take away with him when the project is finished. anyone confirm that this is common? my 2c barry.b --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
