My inquiry involves copyright issues. I created a ticketing system for my company. Because a portion of the software was created while I was still an independent contractor, and because I was hired on as a computer technician, NOT a programmer, shouldn't the software I created fall outside my scope of employment? There was never a formal agreement for me to do this type of work. Nothing was ever signed. I was hired specifically as a Technical Support representative, not a software developer. My boss took advantage of me and intimidated me in to developing software that would normally cost tens of thousands of dollars, all while paying me my meager technician's hourly wage. Is it possible that I own the copyright? Is there anything else I can do? Is there some form of law other law surrounding this I might not be considering?
Thank you for your time.
