Hello

    Too little too late, but here goes.... You might have considered
    that ANY employee should sign a contract basically stating that ANY
    employee cannot copy your work or use any techniques or methods,
    computer born or otherwise, to copy your work, that may or may not
    compete with any of your business... 

    Since that possibility has PASSED and she is a quote "friend," you
    might consider ALLOWING HER to go into business with YOU, so to
    speak - albeit, in a VERY SMALL, on-the-surface-only, type of
    degree...... 

    You could then somehow financially and otherwise ( back her up )
    with sharing information and techniques and booth costs etc.... Then
    you could come to a written agreement / a financial BUSINESS
    contract / compromise, whereby the sharing of your information,
    expertise. money etc, is reciprocated by a percentage of her profits
    earned, since those profits are gained at your expense to a degree /
    Your generous sharing and allowing her to USE it all at your expense
     ! ! ! 

    To what degree she gained at your expense, by using your knowledge
    and computer programs and etc etc, will be determined in writing....
    It's business, as they say.. 

    Since she is your  " friend " and you rely on each other, I would
    recommend that the financially reciprocating percentage be small....
    Just enough to allow her to maintain her dignity, while allowing you
    to NOT FEEL USED ... 

Good Luck
RocknLight
