Re: Copyright/Theft of Work Issue

If the facts are as you describe, you probably can obtain some type
financial recovery by threatening a law suit.  You will need a UKlegal
counselor.

For a good primer on UK internet law check the web site of
http://www.warnercranston.com/practice/it/public.htm
there are several excellent downloadable publications.  If you are proximate
to London, I'd recomend you call Tim Foster whose contact info is on that
web site.
