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

Amazon seller copying my product listing. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 16 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, 17 U.S.C. § 106. Your state may provide additional protections.

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