When a person or entity is creating a work that is paid for by another
entity or consumer, the client might want to hold the copyright over the
work which can be done through a mutual contract (I pay you, you give
me all rights over the work I paid for) or a unilateral copyright
assignment.
Actually though I said "I don't care" I really do because quoting the example
of Infosys and other Indian companies someone actually told me this when he
paid for my work.
This is scary, isn't it? It is like saying that you are my ghost writer since I
pay you.
I understand that you can buy several things with money but I think one has to
draw a line as to what one loses for the sake of money.
The other day Raja was telling me something about copyright and intellectual
property, but I did not get what he was saying. I think his view differed from
this.
My personal take on the matter seems to be that I may for the sake of money and
business be ready to relinquish my ownership once in a while but never on a
regular basis...
Anyway this insight will help me in future.
Many thanks for it.
regards,
Girish
