Re: Copyrights, portfolio rights, bragging rights?
this is a tricky one. We've been down this road several times. A good comparison would be bying a car (say VW) and then telling everyone you've made it! Our contract states that a client cannot exhibit any of our work in any websites or printed media without our permssion. I think it is rather cheaky to just assume that it is okay. If you own the rights to your own work this should not be an issue, however i understand that copyright laws in USA are rather complex and even though you've produced the work it does not automatically mean that you own it. Thankfully in SA it is much more simple and having gone through the same motions previously we do retain rights over everything we produce. Best of luck and this is just my 2 cents worth....
