Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Copyright on plans after a house fire

We recently had a house fire that totally destroyed our--name removed--other than the foundation walls. We decided to go with a different builder than our original one to rebuild our--name removed-- We have now been told that we need to pay our original builder a copyright fee even though the--name removed--we are going to build is not a carbon copy of the original. We will not be using the original plans to rebuild and the only thing left is the foundation. Do we have to pay?

Re: Copyright on plans after a house fire

Who said that you need to pay? What is the basis of their claim?

Suppose I managed to find out who you were and said you need to pay me for this advice. Would you? I would hope not.

So before you pay anybody anything. Ask me the initial consultation is free.
