You have 4 employees that have helped on it . You do not have an agreement other then a hand shake. It is going to take you a while to get it into a money making situation. an employee who did a lot of the final work and maybe made it all come together thinks he can make more money with this at the BIG BUCKS company. He quits today starts there tomorrow. In the us these days it is going to be a battle of the who has the most money and best lawyers. Even if you had an agreement with the employee that may be the case. --------------040500040107030807010300 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="rindesigns.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="rindesigns.vcf" begin:vcard fn:Robert I.
