years ago I developed a website in Flash for one of my client. I was in charge for code/animation and also maintaining Hosting and Domain.

I also have a basic contract with my client, in the contract it does not mention who is the owner for the code.

My Client (ex client) decide suddenly to work with a different company, so they moved the website without asking me any permission and leaving me with un payed bills for hosting and domain registration.

Now the website is running on the same name but with a different extension, the website is managed by my competitor.

The other company probably used some SWF Decompiler and upload the entire website on the new domain.

My question:

• Even if in our contract it is not mentioned who is the owner for the code/website I would like to know if I have some right on the code/website I developed.
• Do you now any international regulation on this matter (I'm in Europe)?

If you like please share your opinion or similar story on this, I would appreciate it.
