Having been involved in contracting situations where I had difficulty getting
paid for work completed by the hour, I've often wondered if the
mechanic lean laws could apply to a software situation. In mechanic lean law
a workperson who is not paid for work completed can aquire a secured interest
in the property worked on.

If it works for carpenters and auto mechanics it should work for software
engineers. Can you imagine the sheriff knocking on Revlon's doors and seizing
all software media that contained Logisticon's software?
