if the site hasn't been paid for, don't you still officially own the site files?
i would put a message across the bottom of the site saying "This site has not yet been paid for. To settle the invoice and remove this message please contact me at emailaddress" or something similar where you get advertising and he gets bad publicity. The site is live so you've fulfilled any contractual obligation but he gets bad press the more he uses the site. alz On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 11:24 AM, poste9 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > give ftp information to some brazilian where there isnt internet's law. > its an option too. > > 2008/12/8 Eamonn Faherty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > This is a grey area.
