Howdy Y'all,
I'm from Washington state.
When a contract is written between two parties, who owns the copyright to that contract?
For example, if I write a contract between a contractor and myself for work done on my house, do I have the right to republish or reuse the contract, in whole or in part? And if the contractor writes the contract? What about generic agreements, such as credit card terms and conditions? What if such terms and conditions are marked with the copyright symbol, and what if they are not?
Perhaps I should get right to the point - of the varied types of legal documents I agree to (contracts, divorce and child custody papers, credit-card agreements, etc.), how free am I to republish these documents on the Internet?
And finally, if you know of any resources that explain this sort of thing, I'd be happy if you could tell me about them!
Thanks in Advance,
Emerson
