Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
fanfiction and derivative works. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving honestly.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 26 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
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.
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'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.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
Don't make the same mistake I did -- is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
