I asked a friend of mine who is a decent artist to sketch me something that I intend to use as a splash screen on mobile apps that I program.
He signed, and dated the sketch, and I bought it from him.
How can I insure against reproduction/theft?
I am not the artist, I had only the concept, and with his name on it I can't copyright it as my own.
Any links, or professional advise anyone can give would help a lot thank you.
allow me to add, I do not want to remove his name from it, if that can be avoided, he did the work and should get the credit...but as the owner...I need to know how to protect it, and use it... I have had no luck finding information with general web searches.
