3. The material in question was created as work for hire in January 2014. Although the client was in receipt of both the final artwork files and the bill for service, payment was never received. Subsequent demand for payment letters received no response. Furthermore, it was specifically noted in the final bill for service that "all rights to the artwork is owned by the Customer, upon receipt of payment in full." A Cease and Desist letter was sent (via email) on August 31, 2016. This message was ultimately opened/read on September 21, 2016.
