I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
can I sell AI-generated images commercially. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves content I created over the past 29 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
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.
I think half the threads here are about this exact issue.
I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Look, nAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Obviously I don't know all the details of your situation though 🤷.

Been there. Here's what I learned.
In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

Anyone else notice that companies respond much faster when you CC the state AG or include 'CFPB complaint pending' in your letter? It's like a magic phrase. They go from 'we'll look into it' to 'let's resolve this today.'
This is a great example of why reading the terms of service matters. I know it's tedious, but at minimum, check: (1) arbitration clauses, (2) liability limitations, (3) auto-renewal provisions, (4) cancellation procedures, and (5) class action waivers. These 5 sections tell you most of what you need to know.
For anyone dealing with trade secret theft: act fast. The longer you wait, the harder it is to get an injunction. Most courts want to see that you took immediate action to protect your confidential information.
The patent troll situation is still bad. If you get a demand letter from a patent assertion entity, don't panic. Many of them send hundreds of letters hoping for quick settlements. An attorney can often make them go away for less than what they're demanding.
