FWIW, I should have sued my ex-employer over their treatment of me. I didn't because all the advice fitted into four groups:

1) The parent company can afford to fight you for as long as it takes to bankrupt you.
2) Even if/when you win it is unlikely that you will be awarded sufficient damages to cover your legal costs.
3) As a white, middle-aged, male, you have hardly any hope of winning because nobody will support you.
4) Because of effects of the stress they've already put you through, the stress of facing aggressive lawyers will probably kill you.

That despite solid documentary evidence that my ex-employer lied to me and about me in a nasty attempt to discredit me.

Nothing to do with copyright, of course.

It's no accident that many cases are fought in American courts where the payouts can be far larger.
