1) I did contact Arrow about Pit Stop - including texting Alex Agran and I was ignored. My post on Facebook calmly and nicely stating they did not have the rights to use our Pit Stop stuff was deleted and I was blocked.

2) Despite what you may read online I am not a rich man and nor can I afford lawyers. Bringing this to public attention is the least I can do.

3) I am less concerned about any supposed "career suicide" than I am informing any others who may get a foot in the door of this industry to look after themselves. This happens. A lot.

It is very sad that, in the eyes of some, I seem to be the villain for defending the very rights under which I was employed. Let me put it this way, if someone writes a book and a UK publisher buys the rights for the UK it does not mean they can then exploit the US market without the prior consent of the author.

Get it?

Isn't such practice more commonly known as intellectual property theft?
