Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

fanfiction and derivative works. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

If you can swing it, a consultation is probably your best next move here.

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.

Following this thread — I could have written this post myself. Same exact problem sadly.

Three things I wish I knew before my dispute: (1) Save copies of all communications in multiple places, (2) Send important correspondence via certified mail with return receipt, (3) Keep a detailed timeline of events. These three things won my case.
