I've been instructed to do things like this by past employers and I've never been comfortable with it. There are other avenues to persuing payment for services than defacing someone's property (assumption on my part, admittedly) and creating a firestorm of hatred to be imposed upon them in other mediums and venues.
To me, this is childish and an attempt at trying the easy way out of a situation.
Always have contracts, always get paid in installments. If you cannot get those things from clients, then you do not want them as clients.
- homosaur 14y agoOh yeah, it would be sooooo much better for a small business to spend possibly thousands and thousands of dollars on a judgement that will never get paid. But you are right about installments. I have a very specific set of language in my contracts regarding payment and deliverables. And if they stole my code which this guy claims, well, I'd probably pull something like this before bothering to spend thousands of dollars on a wasted legal battle.
