Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
can I sell AI-generated images commercially. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 15 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
I think half the threads here are about this exact issue.
Don't make the same mistake I did -- is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
Following this thread — Same boat here, please update us on what happens!
NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol
Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. 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.
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.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said every case is different so take this with a grain of salt.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
I eventually got results by escalating/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
Pro tip: always escalate. The frontline people can't do anything/manager. It took 1-3 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.
