4 of us began a venture as equal partners to host a youtube type site with content produced by us, nothing formally written up as an agreement. This partner is no longer part of the venture because of a disagreement with one of the other partners. She has shot some videos, edited a few and we use them online. This person is in possession of the other videos, is threatening to delete the footage and is demanding we take down anything on the site. Has asked for $10,000 to hand over the footage. The questions are:
1-Do we have to take the footage down?
2-She filmed and produced it with the intent to use on our site can he make this demand?
3-Does she have the right to the footage or does it belong to us / the website?
4-Can she make a claim in the future that she is entitled to a portion of the site?
THank you for your help
