Reply to comment by FandomMenace in LPT Request: How to be paid for a job that's almost a year late by [deleted]

I didn't copyright. Just some creativity on my computer, and wanting to help. I dont want to cease and desist in that way, firstly because I can't afford it, and second.. what's the point? It's not gonna put food on my table

You don't "copyright" something, if you make something original you own the copyright to it, it's that simple.

Assuming you live in the U.S., whenever you create something and put it in a permanent form it is automatically copyrighted.

The threat of the cease and desist is the catalyst for getting paid. You really are going to need to brush up on copyright law, however, because if it looks like you don't know what you're talking about, this whole thing will fail.

Your only other move is to grovel and beg them for money after the fact.

If you're hungry, there should be a number of food banks that will help you in your area.

I don't live in the US, they know I can't afford to take it to court, and..the closest food bank to me is a 1hr drive. I don't have a car. I live rurally in Europe

Gofundme or ask for help from family and friends. You have no leverage here. You need to be humble and ask for assistance.
