> Copyright was mentioned but unfortunately I had failed to mark the . . In the U.S., the creator automatically has the copyright of his product; it exists from the moment of completion. Actually marking them makes no real difference. However, registering the copyright can entitle the copyright holder to much more in damages. I believe the normal limit is to register within 90 days of creation or publication, in order to collect certain damages for misuse within this initial period. I believe the Library of Congress' website may have some helpful information. You should check with a lawyer who specializes in intellectual property; most who are not familiar with IP to persue a breach of contract path. I believe the best venue for IP cases is federal court. However, if the client has not commercially published, your case may be small enough to not be worth pursuing. If you are contemplating a copyright infringement case, talk with an intellectual property lawyer. I am not one and don't even play one on television. Nathan
