I am sure this is way OT, so I would be more than happy if anybody wants to respond off list. Being new to the country I just wasn't sure where else to ask.
I have some legal problems with Italian companies using my images without permission in Italy. I handed one of these cases to a lawyer there and they wrote a couple of letters, but nothing else until coming back after 8 months to tell me that they don't feel able to continue as I am out of the country and the amount we could win is likely to be around half of what their fee would be. They now want to hand me over to a smaller studio and the whole thing will start again from scratch. Bear in mind that few cases in Italy last less than 5 years court and the vast majority never reach a final conclusion. Has anybody on this list had experience in obtaining money from foreign companies for copyright abuse by dealing through the UK legal system? Any help would be much appreciated.
