It was Pornonada who first brought it to the public eye on Ask Damage. So not me.

Someone has already paid for that content, so why are you asking for more money?
The original buyer asked me if he could sell the content. I told him no for exactly the same reason you don't allow others to sell your program. Then after the original buyer sold it. Yes after being told he could not. Pornonada and/or DamageX later came onto me to tell me they had lost it in the transfer and they wanted to re download it. First I knew the original buyer had ignored my instructions. I tried to reach a price with them for the transfer and the re supply. If we can't reach a price agreement he takes the content down, not keep using it. But anyone thinking that's what he was always going to do?

However it's all negated by the fact they are breaking the license terms anyway. He knew he did not have the license, he kept using it, he knew it was not licensed for affiliate use, he kept using it.

He keeps saying he has sold the program on again, but refuses to give me the name of the new owners. So he sold content he does not own a license for and using against the terms of that license. Are you this lenient?

Usually I will transfer a license with no fuss, it's my job to transfer it not for the original buyer to sell it. In this case I was ignored by the original buyer and Pornonada who just used it. But I'm the bad guy.

For sticking to the terms of my license. Anyone thought I just don't want someone who clearly ignores licenses to have the license?
