Hello,
I'm hoping some people here can offer their advice on a business related issue. I have been providing designs to a couple of guys who are starting up a t-shirt company. Since I wasn't really thinking about it initially, I provided them with original copies of the designs. Since they only need a high quality template , which could be a high resolution scan instead of the original, I see no reason they should possess the original artwork. Its only an issue for me because I believe the art itself could have sale value.
When I mentioned this to them, they resisted and claimed that their not possessing the original could work against them should they ever become successful. I thought that was XXX, but the fact remains that they have the originals.
I'm basically looking for some feedback from the community on this issue as well as links to cases or legal documents that would relate.
