It's a well known fact that you need to discuss any resell rights about code that you
order from the programmer.
Programmers may do $3000 worth of work on your $300 job because he believes he
can re-use the code for other jobs. But if you are giving/seling the code then
where are his clients coming from.
You are fucking yourself but you don't realize it.
No decent programmer is going to code for you after this post.
If the code you have turns out to have a bug in it then you probably will not
getting any help from your programmer after trying to fuck him by reselling
his code as if it was your product.
Call Microsoft and ask them to code a special driver for a device you have then
try and resell it because "it was your idea".
Ideas are not copyrightable dude!
Only the actual representation of the idea is copyrightable.
The programmer copyrights the code, you have nothing but an idea.
Ideas don't make money; the implementation of the idea makes the money.
In other words; your idea was a useless piece of mental dribble until you used someone
else's brains and skills to implement it. Then you failed to establish a contact to
get the rights for the implementation.
Try thinking of this another way.
Example :
Instead of a website, you own a radio station.
Madonna writes and sings a short jingle for your station for $xxxx.
You now decide to use a sound editor and cut out your radio station call letters and
insert other stations call letters and sell the jingle to other radio stations and not
pay Madonna.
Do you really think something like that would fly?
That's what you are trying to do with the programmers code.
