Hi folks,
I've got a legal question here that I'd like to ask the board before asking the school's opinion. I currently attend a pricy art school with very talented (and underexperienced) students. Last quarter, I had a class where the final was to develop a very nice user-friendly site. I had a friend ask me what the site's value might be which gave me an idea: I ask a student what price he deems appropriate for his work and I offer to buy it. Chances are, I'll be getting it at a lower rate than most clients. I consider this using my assets (which I pay $30k annually for BTW) to my advantage. I asked a few different entrprenuers their take and received mixed answers. Would it be legal for me to buy these sites and resell them for a profit? If not, who holds the copyrights on these items? If so, is it ethical?
