Legal Question in Business Law in California

Assuming I understand you correctly, of course. The magazine in not an insurer of your contracts and business dealings. Your remedy is really to go after your own client, but I am not so certain that you are understanding the law here correctly here.

In a work for hire relationship, the employer still receives an implied license to use the work for its intended purpose. That is, I am not so sure that you would have any right to prevent them from using it, but rather you can go after them as a matter of contract law to recover any money owed. It is entirely possible that they may forfeit their right to use the work under certain scenarios, but I would not conclude that here and it is an analysis a copyright lawyer should make.

It might be worth discussing with a lawyer in private to make sure you understand all your options. If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.

Kind regards,

I agree...besides the fact that you may have a conflict with your current employer. The magazine only runs artwork that they get paid for you won't stop them from running it...

The artwork is probably not yours unless the is contract language to the contrary... If there

Is language I wonder how they get it without them paying you.
