broke_but_hopeful_17 OP

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

NFT of someone else's art. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves software/code I developed over the past 27 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

I keep hearing about cases like this.

Here's where people usually go wrong is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Standard disclaimer: talk to an actual attorney for your case.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

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.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
