Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
fanfiction and derivative works. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 25 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
I went through almost the exact same thing.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer imo.

The thing that gets people is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
I've dealt with this before.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run 🤷.
Final update on my case: settled for the full amount I demanded, plus they covered my filing costs. Total time from demand letter to settlement: 6 weeks. The key was having a well-documented demand with specific legal citations and a clear deadline. They knew I would follow through.
