if yes... agreements should have been made.
If not... I would'nt worry about it. The designer (creator) still owns full rights. unlees you are using already copyrighted material,

Hey Set...
Here's the situation:
I was commissioned to do the design work for a paysite.
Just today, I received a BCC: C&D order from the legal department for the content producer, stating that it is not licensed to the owner of the site. I just wanted to find out if I could use the design in my portfolio or not. I know there is some sort of "fair use" act or something, that states you can use portions of a copyrighted work, for demonstrations. But, I'm not really sure how this applies to designers.
Any info on this is greatly appreciated.
