I feel the need to straighten records. If you’ve been tagged it’s probably because you’ve heard something and either drawn your own conclusions (or believed someone else’s) and should anyone else outside of the tagging mention anything, maybe you could show them this. As you know until last May I worked for Radio X. I was unhappy at constant disputes with the owner so I left. I submitted an invoice for my final three days of work, which he refused to pay. It was for £75. During the dispute I suggested I might raise an invoice for work I did outside of my show. It included off-air recording, extra studio hours, writing of theme music, staying late into the night re-wiring the studio, general engineering and website image design. The estimate for this work came to around £4000. I was not happy when the owner suggested none of the extra work was ever authroised or requested. Some of it clearly was, and any work that maybe wasn’t asked for was still greatly accepted. This included the design of several website images/logos. So if they were not authorised I assumed he wouldn’t mind not having them anymore. By using website passwords HE gave me (and had not changed) I simply logged in and removed anything that I had designed and was not paid for. The owner of Radio X reported me to the police. I had a visit last week from them. I may have been annoyed/frustrated before but this made me angry. I had to spend hours consoling my sobbing son who was convinced I was going to jail (this was outlined as a worse case scenario which he overheard). So, no matter what you have heard, the truth is I left, the owner wriggled out of paying me a measly sum and laughed off a bigger amount so I took back what was mine using passwords he assigned to me. I am not some great computer hacker, nor a criminal! Just a bloke who wants to work and expects to get paid for it.
