Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

I did not received a royalty check for used unreported book sales. My book is a print on demand book it takes 10 days to print and 3-7 days to ship. I order a new copy of this book, I received it in two days. On the back of the book it states that, it was made in the USA on December 01, 2010. I ordered this book on February 5, 2011 and I received it on February 7, 2011. According to a sales audit there are supposed to be no printed books except for 1. I received this book in two days, which means it was in stock and printed readily available. ? There not supposed to be in stock because once again, this is a print on demand book. Whenever a book is printed, that means there has been a purchase made. I'm suppose to get a royalty check for it . Could some one help me?

Hi,

In reading about your situation, it looks like you have a case. However, in order to be sure, we would need to review any contracts you have with this publishing company, as those will likely have certain provisions which will govern how payments are to be made.

Feel free to contact my office for a free consultation or other intellectual property attorneys in your area.
