Ok, here is my question...I have a small-home based business and I do graphic 
designing.  A radio station in my area contacted me about designing a bumper 
sticker...for a summer promtional kick-off, I asked if this was going to be 
used for other than the bumper sticker and they said no....they paid me my 
design fee, and I might add my Logo fees are much higher...Next thing I knew 
my design was plastered on the side of their Van with another company given 
the credit for the design....I talked with the owner of the Radio Station and 
he flat out told me that there never was going to be any bumper stickers and 
I was just out of luck because they paid me for my design...in my eyes they 
are leasing my design...they do not own it...so I now have a lawyer who had 
drawn up a design-art contract for my future clients...My lawyer said it 
would be a waste of my money to take legal action....but I am still mad and 
hurt..can I still claim the design as mine and use it in my portfolio's for 
future reference?  Thanks for your time!
