Okay, here's the deal. I run a website and I hired 4 people to become writers for the site. They completed a few articles in their short time at my site. Now three of them have left to make their own website, they want to take all their work with them. At the bottom of every page at our site we have a copyright notice that reads as such "All materials on this site including content, graphics, flash, ideas © Site-name-removed.com 2000-2001 and may not be copied without prior permission from administration."
Now this should mean that they cannot remove the work from my site and that they cannot use it on their own site, is that correct? The only valid reason coming from them at the moment is that they think that since they wrote it is is copyrighted to them, when it clearly states (and they knew that) that all content is copyrighted to my site.
Am I right in keeping the work and stopping them from using it at a future site? Thanks.
