Emails
A few emails were sent to and from the Administrators. I informed them that they were in breach of copyright and sent an invoice.They refused to pay any money, and made a point of including the web site in the sale.
Reject invoice
Going forward
After typing this up there is not as much of my own work as I first thought there was, although there is still a lot.As Fishtrade have already broken several laws I doubt that they would pause to break copyright law as well, so it would need to be ready to go to court if we issue a takedown notice.
In a just world, it would go to court and damages issued would be the sale price Sampi achived relative to the sale price that could of been relised if no laws were broken.
I put an advert on the SAMPI site for potential buyers to contact Peter Laughton, so that he might inform them of Sampi's real value and possibly form a syndicate to buy Sampi. My rights to edit the web site were then removed, and that instant was the that point that copyright was broken, as my agreement hinged on this access.
The one and only reason why this issue has not been to court already is because justice costs money.
I have a faint hope that once the breach of copyright law has been established, Fishtrade would be obliged to either admit guilt, or foot the legal bill to establish guilt regarding the hollywood accounting. This is the expencive bit.
Once that has been achived any extra legal action can simply refer to these court documents, and would hopefully be quick and easy, and therefore cheap.
