Question

Here's the scenario: a client of mine (lets call them Company A) had a website built by someone else (let's call them Company B). They then asked me (Company C) to configure a third party framework to look and feel exactly the same as what Company B built for them.

Would it be legitimate for me to use content (including images, CSS, and even HTML) from the site Company B built for Company A?

It's worth mentioning Company A's name is in the copyright notice in the footer of the site Company B made for Company A.

Explanation / Answer

If Company A owns the copyright (this is usually the case in works-for-hire of this sort, and the copyright notice backs this up), then it's perfectly legitimate to use those assets in other projects for Company A. Company A owns the rights to those assets, so can do what they like with them.
