Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

can I sell AI-generated images commercially. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 11 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under 17 U.S.C. § 106. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct substantially similar.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
