[QUOTE="kevin_video, post: 7454914, member: 85066"] Thankfully you don't have to know how to go about the lawsuit. Another person has already made contact with a lawyer. We're just waiting to hear back on what our options are. We need a US backer to be the go-to for communications, and being an aggrieved party is going to be part of a major asset. Unfortunately, I'm not the person that made contact with the lawyer so my info's spotty at best. However, I can forward the info to the person that we do have someone willing to help. I'll keep you apprised of what I learn. With it being July 4th soon, there might be a delay before we can go ahead with things. But, we've waited this long, right? [MENTION=6901101]Scott Christian[/MENTION] -- Sadly you're not wrong. I want to write adventures and have them published. The problem now is that people don't overly care about that any more.
