It wouldn't have been such a big deal, quasi, if you weren't trying to discourage him from getting his money back. Don't be like C***d and post facts (especially incorrect facts) without sources; does no one any good and just spreads misinformation.

Edited per Invert's request, even though it's not a personal attack in the sense that I****t uses them.
Edit 2: Whoops that might be construed as a personal attack as well. Edited again.

That is a personal attack on a person that is not even involved in this discussion.

That doesn't include sources to support his argument 


On topicness:
If you can complain to PP () & get your money then go for it, otherwise it'd take alot of time and effort to fight it out in small claims making it not worth it in the long run.  By the time the case is settled you could've written 3-4 more programs and sold them for $160 trying to make up for your loss.

Small claims courts is not meant to "take a lot of time and effort." You go to court, tell the judge your case, the judge rules, and you collect your money. It's not hard, it's like the court shows you see on TV--quick and easy.

You have to submit all of the documents to the correct court, you have to notify whomever you're suing (probably doesn't take much in small claims though), you have to wait for the court to schedule you & file your documents & such, it could take a good month or so...you odn't just walk in & say "hi, I'm here to sue this guy"...wel you can & they'll help you get started, but you get my point.

I doubt Savior paid 80$ for a copyright.

Topaz: I started my own company selling retail stuff (Online) and I copyrighted my company name and used that in my programs also

That's all very trivial and not very time consuming compared to say going to court and arguing your case. I don't considering waiting "taking a lot of time and effort" because other work can be done during that time.

Well okay, assuming that this guy can even be taken to small claims court (assuming he lives within reasonable distance i.e. the same county), then you have to take into consideration that some courts might not allow you to file a claim below 200... and the maximum ammount varies from place to place as well.

Also, in many places you can even just file all of the paper work online these days. But still if this was all done over the internet I don't understand how small claims is going to work if the guy lives in another state. I think you'd be SOL.
