Why don't you just package it up and sell it yourself and undercut his ass?

The Lawyer's going to ask to see the release of the intellectual property rights, which he of course does not have.
I used to work for a large Forestry company. By large I mean close to $1B a year in revenue. The exact same thing happened. Some coders were hired under contract to write custom code, but the IT manager at the time had no idea really what he was doing. In the end, they ended up reselling the same code and we were left with only a license to use and modify the code.

That's 100% FALSE. You make this shit up or what?
On a work for hire, the person contracting the work owns the rights, not the other way around.
I'd sue the bejesus out of the fucker.
Stop asking gfy.. half of these idiots wouldn't know their ass from their elbow.. Go ask an attorney.
The person paying for the project owns the rights.
When you hire a designer to design your site, do they resell it to everyone else after they deliver it to you?
Some people need a fucking clue!Comment

as far a legality goes i'm fucked, anyway i really come at this situation i am not going to win.
best case scenario: coder realizes people frown upon this, and there is a last minute decision to not release the script in order to maintain a reputable name.
worst case scenario: every douchebag running wordpress now has my script running on their blogs. maybe a few other newbs see this and learn my lesson the easy way instead of the hard, which is all i can hope for at this point...Comment

BS.. he didn't buy a license for a software he bought and paid for the development of that software. So the code is his, however without a Non Compete or a No Disclosure he's SOL. More than likely.
His best bet is to use the net warrior code and out the guy, so others know they can't trust him.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

On the contrary, HE DOES!! He contracted & hired the work, he owns the work.
Stop shitting from your mouth & speaking out your ass.
USC Title 17, circular 92, chapter 2 section 201B
"b) Works Made for Hire. ? In the case of a work made for hire, the employer or other person for whom the work was prepared is considered the author for purposes of this title, and, unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise in a written instrument signed by them, owns all of the rights comprised in the copyright"
The person paying for the work owns ALL RIGHTS.. not the other way around.Comment

I guess the laws vary alot between Canada and the US. I should have pointed out initially that I was speaking about Canadian law.
Like I told you, I lived through this exact experience, but on a much, much larger scale.
No need to be a mouthy little twit about it, douche bag.

and then even more people wind up with it. haha.
no, i'm content to just sit and see where things go from here, i'll be waiting to see the post here when the script is offered for sale, i already know it's coming, and when it does i'll be sure to reference this thread in that one. hopefully i never see that day, but who knows, it's out of my hands one way or another.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Get DNA's or Work For Hire contracts signed next time...
if anyone is really concerned about the info on the coder they can contact me on icq. until then, i'm not going to out anyone publicly. i'm sure he will read this, and if the day comes that i do see the script for sale on gfy (which i'm sure is still going to happen regardless of whatever i say), he will be outed. this is his chance to not release the script and save some face...Last edited by Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life; 03-25-2007, 07:28 PM.Comment
