There are some good sample forms online. Like I said the actual work of it won’t take you more than 30 minutes just identify where your work is on their sites, by URL and filename. Prepare the DMCA on one of those forms and send it electronically to SOBV and their host. Then sit back and see what happens. Technically copyright belongs to you unless you gave them a written assignment of the various works created it really doesn’t have anything to do with payment or nonpayment. So if you didn’t give them a release on those main sites a few years back you can assert copyright on those as well. I suspect as in most cases it was never even discussed, but this gives you some major leverage. Obviously what you’re fishing for is for is them to pay you, and at that point you can release your copyright claims on all your works you did for them.

Actually just checked invoices, there are some sites in there too, not their main once, those where taken care of last year.
