I've been looking online and been reading through things in regards to Royalty payout for graphics designers. A few bloggers have marked Royalty payout for designers as a taboo topic and they have basically told their readers to stay away from it.
What I don't understand is why this is such a big issue, In all honesty I would find this concept a very good idea for both parties? This would be good for the freelance designers who want to get into the market without any form of limits ( They can negotiate their terms AND still have the IP for the design). I see the ball being in their court as they can make the shots and the person who will be paying the Royalty would mostly abide by their conditions since it is them that want the designs.
I would really appreciate if someone can give me some insight about how the IP and Copyright would be worked out? Based on what I've read...The creator owns the IP ( As this wont me mentioned in the contract) BUT... any modifications made to the design by the company will own the copyright since it is them that has made the changes to meet their organisations requirement for whatever purpose?
Thanks again
