Copyright headache

[paulsmith3]

Hi all,

 

We have a client that's threatening legal action because we're refusing to hand over our 3d models to them. Despite my explanation of how copyright law works (here in the UK)

she insists that because we worked from their CAD files they own the copyright to all imagery and models we produce. This is clearly not true, and I've steadfastly refused to hand them over in order to protect the interests of ourselves and everyone in this industry. Has anybody else had situations like this? Would be comforting to know we're not the only ones!
