QUESTION
I have been the general manager of a small incorporated bar in California for 16 years. When I approached the owners with an idea for a website, they were not interested financially or otherwise and I have paid all fees for four years, Now that I have quit, they are demanding the website, first legal threat, then $500. Do I have to sell?

You do not have to sell the website to them if you truly produced it with your own funds on your own time. However, now that you do not work for them, if you do not sell it to them, you should take it down.
