If all goes well, eh? That is entirely out of my hands. I can only point TFCash to this thread and our ICQ conversation. What happens from there is entirely up to TFCash. Sucks that the decisions of TFCash will have an influence on my son's site.

Out of your hands? Someone is using designs I sold you on multiple sites, it is in your hands.

I believe TFCash thought it was entirely okay. Like I mentioned, when a client pays for Exclusive Content they get full rights and the producer has no rights. He has an in-house designer and all I've ever dealt with in the design world is you. Neither of us had any clue that copyright laws are different with designers than with exclusive content providers.

Are there contracts involved with exclusive content? Do you need to sign anything for those rights? A contract perhaps?
You and I have no contract, and as stated and for you to have exclusive rights for a design you need to be given thatt exclusive rights, in contract form. You have not.

And to be honest, I still don't know the rules are different. I'm taking the word of designers in this thread.

here is the pdf from the American Institute Of Graphic Arts.

Covers design copyright laws.
It clearly states, that once I create something it is mine until I give the rights away in contract. Just because you compare this tour to exclusive content does not make the comparison accurate. It can get technical but it's all pretty common sense to people who create things regularly. Read the exclusive rights section regarding design. No contract, no exclusivity. No right to "copy" or replicate in any form.
I am not trying to pull lawyers out either, I am simply trying to illustrate that graphic design copyright is as serious as music copyright. The artist retains Federally Protected Copyright the moment I created the PSD.
I hope it doesnt have to get that technical, it doesnt have to, but the facts are the facts and that is that.
I am trying to get away and watch SOuth Park, I dont feel like posting about this anymore today.
