Sell those databases to the company of origin's competition!
Until they are paid for, they are yours.
Any one signing contracts that says you cannot do this?

Mario,
Sorry to hear about your problem.
I've had the same thing happen, and still haven't worked out a method
that
I'm 100% satisfied with.
It's good that you posted your information here, not only for yourself
but
for others as well.
Gook luck with getting paid.
Richard
