Can my employee take customer data and start a business?

They told me they were leaving to start their own jewelry store. They told me they had no information from my store. They actually did. I confronted them and said they had 24 hours to return it and delete everything from their computer. They sent back over 120 appraisals with my customers’ personal information on them. I don’t know if that’s all they have. I have a customer base of over 9,000 customers.

I am the co-author of a book with four other authors. Can I market and sell book-related workshops without asking the other authors for permission?

I am the co-author of a book with four other authors. The book will be published and released soon. We have a clear royalties agreement, but we don’t have an agreement about our individual rights beyond royalties. I want to be able to market and sell my coaching, speaking, and workshop services using the book independently — without having to ask permission from the other authors or being financially bound to them for my independent work. How can I do this legally?
