OK, so here is a brief run down of the situation. I have a family member who I developed a website for approx. 1 year ago. Their firm paid my company to develop a website for them. I contracted another firm to do the actual graphic design and I handled the layout, putting together of the website etc.
Now, the issue is that the company I hired put a link to it in their portfolio which I dont really care about. The people I am running into an issue with is the family member (who I really dont care for) is pissed because the portfolio website is coming up with a higher google rating then their site is. They are saying we have "false" copyrights although nothing states anything about copyrighting the domain , site , name etc.
I actually still own the domain, it is in my domain, and they sent me an email that I am extremely pissed off about.
First off, I want to know what the legal copyrights are regarding web site development and works of art like websites.
I am curious about this alleged "false" copyright statement although there is nothing stated that is copyrighted. To me it seems they are pissed because if someone types in their company name an adult design company has this site in their portfolio.
Let me know, its pretty humerous, but im seeking serious legal advice to counter this email and shut this person up once and for all.
Thanks
Andy
