AVID Home Studios Says Borrowed Home Plans May Prove Costly
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 11:25 amTo build a new home, builders need home plans. Today, professional home design firms like AVID Home Studios use sophisticated web sites to help builders find the perfect home plan. Home design services have expanded far beyond the traditional architect and anyone with a web browser can purchase a plan from a number of e-commerce warehouses. But, most people are unaware of strict copyright laws that protect the intellectual rights of these home designs and the penalties that go with them. Not understanding the license restrictions of a purchased home plan may come back to haunt the builder with severe consequences.
