I have a client who spent silly money on a database driven flash only website and the developer is charging them even more silly money to make very minor changes. Basically they are taking the piss and have this client over a barrel. They have had enough and have asked me to point them towards a developer who can give them better value for money, which I have done. Only problem is the original developer wants 20K GBP to release the FLA files. They do not have a signed contract yet say they have the IP for the site and backend code. My view is that as they do not have a signed contract they have to release the FLA files... I know most you guys will bias towards the developer before making judgement but this web development company really is taking the piss and I believe this is close to extortion... This will most probably have to go to a specialist IP lawyer but before they do could anyone offer any comments/views? Cheers FR Loading...
