I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

NFT of someone else's art. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves software/code I developed over the past 13 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.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. But yeah, have someone look at your specific situation.

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.

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

This is depressingly common.

What trips people up most is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
