ok, a producer recording my bands lastest song had contact information to a magazine in the uk. he inquired about getting us on the compilation cd. They aske for a track to test the sound quality and he sent it to them.
the magazine never talked to me as the producer told them they had to. we never signed any forms to have the music published on the compilation cd, it was to expensive and i didnt have the money.
the producer told them he has no say in the matter the had to contact me for the ok to publish it- i have an e-mail on that.
with no signiture on the forms or signing a royalty free form, they published us. they never spoke to me about anything, they told the producer they did talk to me and we said everything is ok.
i belive it was september last year the published it and sent a bill. i received in october a collection call from a collection company and asked them who signed the release forms. they got off the phone with me rea quick.
in november the magazine contacted me asking for payment, i asked them who signed the release form because i didnt sign anything. long stroy short they kept e-mailing me asking for money i kept asking who signed for it and what are the terms.
the last e-mail i got from them they told me they will be sending some one in person who will collect the money. i did tell them to say hi to Guido for me.
they are sending this debt information to anouther bad, and are sending me that bands debt information i guess expecting me to pay. i told them many times i have nothing to do with that band.
they are contacting the producer telling him since he inquired about it, that was a good enough ok for them to publish us on the cd and he needs to pay. i have an e-mail he sent them telling them they have to talk to me as he has no part in this band.
i have told that company that i didnt sign any paper work to ok it cause i didnt have the money and maybe you shouldnt have published it. i told them maybe i could pay in the future, they have told me in an e-mail i have till friday september 14 to come up with a plan or else. i did tell them that septembr 14th didnt fall on a friday.
the questions i have are:
1. can they sue me as a collection company stated with an intent for court letter irecived even though i never signed anything and the producer even stated he cant autherize it?
2. can i sue them for sending me anouther bands debt information and my information being sent to anouther band?
3. i have made request about royalty payment for using our music, i never signed any papers agreeing for it to be published or even royalty free. would i be able to sue over that? i told a company that if i keep getting hassled i will try for $100k in royalties.
this is getting old and has been going on for months and im getting sick of it.
i have tried to contact a laywer here in independence, i have not heard anything back and i dont know what catagory all this fits in. if you are a lawyer here, let me know with law firm information i have any type of case.
