This is a legal issue and as such needs to be addressed by your solicitor. From the DP point of view this is a member dispute. We do not get involved in member disputes.
I see you're banned, but, you may come back later and read this post. As Smyrl said, this is a legal issue, and should be addressed by your lawyer/solicitor. However, Smyrl, he is posting it in the legal discussion area, so he is may be wanting legal advice. So, here you go (Not an attorney, but, I stayed at a holiday inn once) You probably want to know what you can do. Well, you can sue him. Thats about it. What will it get you? Nothing but a bunch of debt. Your scripts aren't really worth that much and what you would get from him wouldn't be anything considering your legal fees (which can run upwards to 100k+). Have you registered the copyright anywhere? If not, good luck trying to prove you own the copyright. Chalk it up as a loss. Move on.
You can protect scripts by encoding and make license to it so it will never slipped out. That's my opinion if you don't want to be ripped again..
@duperhost: Encoding is great if you want to limit your customer-base to non-dev's. When i buy scripts, i buy scripts to mod, and sell the mods (such as phpMelody and clip-share). If the files are encoded, it limits what i can and can't do with the script, and makes it useless to me. However, i suggest always tagging your scripts with your copyright, and letting people know the "official" place to buy them is.
The mod is great to sell if you using open-source software... I suggest you look more for open-source software to make mod for it.
