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?
this may be a really stupid question but when i buy content i always buy as an agent for the corporation, that legal entity owns the content licience not me personally.

IF the corporation is sold then the licience would not have changed hands (corporation 186555 would still be the owner of the liciense)
the owner of the corporation would be the liciencee.

From the sounds of what you are saying, anyone stupid enough to buy from you can never sell their program, never take on partners (since that would change the owners of the corporation) never retire and never go public.
