Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
scraping my content for AI training. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 29 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
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.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
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 having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
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.
