I am embarrassed you have asked this quite penetrating question.
I realise now that I tend to think the websites I make are mine.
Like the photographs I have sold over the years, I don't really
deep down think the people who paid for them own them... Tell
you the truth, I want them all back, goddamit.

Seriously, you are right to cooperate and ameliorate the demands
of your customers. It all comes down to emphasis, how easily you
give in, how strong you fight, your standing and authority, your
reputation, your bookings, your love for the green stuff and so
on. There really is no objective answer on this little debate. I
just kind of like the Parry line, it is like watching heroes in
movies, I like that moral feeling a lot... I don't think I am on
this earth to just be practical... I was sent here without clear
instructions.
