Re-read the sequence of posts...it benefits you that your name was posted here as you were able to present your side of the argument. Far better than having your name quietly go about through the grapevine as ripoff content providers.
As for charging, etc, each person will feel differently regarding this...Future clients of course won't care about it, but you have to be careful as to how many people feel burned for having to pay for something they already purchased. I don't know how much extra cost this is adding to your bottomline right now, but you should consider how much this will cost you long-term.
Will this alienate the original customer base? Will the original customer base buy from you again after having to pay for content twice? Will the original customers tell other webmasters of their experience? How much will word of mouth hurt you long term?
Personally I think you guys are shooting yourself in the foot...Your lawyer has an opinion based on law, but it isn't based in business. You bought RBC so you had an established url, an established base of users, an established platform to expand, but you're throwing that away by alienating your past users. They don't want to know what your lawyer thinks, they just want the documentation on content they already purchased.
