I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
fanfiction and derivative works. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?
Oh god, another one of these.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 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.
Fwiw my neighbor dealt with this and said the lawyer made it go away fast.
Following this thread — +1, same situation. Hoping for good news.
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.
