It has become commonplace for companies to hire freelance web designers, graphic
   designers, copy writers and programmers to work on their web based applications
   with little regard to copyright ownership. Only once a problem has arisen are concerns
   raised. Companies would do well to realise this to begin with and take steps to
   prevent copyright issues becoming a problem.

   Besides the obvious necessity for companies to ask for copyright ownership of their website as part of the normal
   negotiations at the point of appointing a Web Designer or freelancer another way to prevent such issues it to
   employ skilled staff on short-term, temporary contracts for the duration of the site creation and development and
   train in-house staff to maintain it on an ongoing basis.

   provision of skilled temporary workers.
