I believe Kay and Lea are both right. I would consider it to be like many other situations. They look for the “Controlling Mind”.
i.e. the person in charge. If building a house it’s the house owner and the Builder (these can be companies, where the director or secretary would be responsible) not a laborer unless it’s plainly reckless. In our industry it will be where the Copy right or Intellectual Property is held. That said knowingly breaking the law, is wrong and contract or no contract, courts can hold you accountable. My 2p, one day this will have to be euro cents! My God!

Surely that would depend on your contract with the client - I'm pretty sure ours has all sorts of wriggly little disclaimers to guard against that kind of thing.
