regarding copyrights....
if a client is resolute in stating in the contract that the
code/app/copyright becomes their property, would you sign the contract?
I'm curious are there more developers would sign or decline and loose the
business?
Thanks

What a strange thing to say.
Obviously the client still owns copyright of anything they pass to you
(assuming they own copyright themselves). Just because a client gives
you some source material to work with, doesn't meant that you suddenly
own copyright to it.
