This situation (https://forum.freeadvice.com/showthread.php?t=287556) is only going from bad to worse. Despite my written requests to both my client and the new person she has altering my work product to cease and desist immediately, the new guy continues to change portions of the site while still utilizing my graphics, code and various other items. What is it about CEASE and DESIST they don't understand??
Now comes the ultimate question... I've heard thru the grapevine today that the new guy was finally going to be putting up a completely new site, totally new.
So does all my time, letters, worry, anger and the fact that copyright infringement occured WITHOUT A DOUBT just disappear if a completely new site goes up? Do I still have a good legal reason to pursue this any further? I want to hear YES but, in reality, I know that I probably don't have much of a case if a totally new site goes up despite the fact that my site, complete with the illegal alterations, has been on display to the world for over a month now. Now I see how people get away with crap like this.
Steal my work, put your name on it and then use my work product as yours until you have time to replace it with something else. This is WRONG.
