What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Australia?
Hey there, I just wanted to ask some opinions.
I worked for a guy from the USA doing game development. We had a contract that ended at the start of the year which stated the rules under which I was to work, my pay rate and a royalty on the game I was making for him.
Fast forward to now, he has "let me go" however the work I completed from January until May was not under contract.
However he has said that I was not going to receive ANY royalties for the game even though I have countless emails of him promising me royalties on certain things.
Do I have any legal basis for the royalties and what would I be advised to do from here?
Is the game that I programmed technically my own work and can I stop him from using it?
Anything else I should do?
Thanks for any input!
