Probably one to put down to inexperience and next time make sure you have a written contract or agreement that clearly states where the copy right lies. It is usually with the client but with the freelancer retaining the right to be recognised as the source and with some rights to use the information elsewhere with the permission of the original client. Do be prepared for some clients to retain all the rights to the information you have been paid to supply to them. You could go down the route of Unit of one and insist on retaining all rights to the information you produce but it might restrict your client list.
Unless you have unlimited resources I would not bother chasing this though you could come to some sort of retrospective agreement with the client as long as it is formally in writing. (Always get everything in writing)
