But isn't the original problem that there was no contract written or 
copyright taken on the site? From what I understand, the client retains 
ownership of the site only. What about special coding and graphics? If the 
client has not copyrighted or trademarked the site, or contents thereof, 
doesn't this become an issue of public domain? We need to find out about the 
rights of the designer when it comes to this, right?  Hmmmm.... I'll check it 
out.
