Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

Re: How do i make sure im not getting played

It may be that the producer owes you some dough. However, if he's willing to let you out of the deal, and you leave with your music that you brought, and he has no future rights(that is, you're free to sign with whoever else and he doesn't get any of the money), it may not be such a bad thing to walk away. Too often, I see people in your position where promises aren't met, but the producer keeps them under contract and won't release them. You can e-mail me if you'd like to discuss further. But if you can leave with what you came with, you've only lost a bit of time, and you probably don't want to work with or deal with him anymore anyway, so just move on.

Re: How do i make sure im not getting played

from the facts given, you should retain an attorney to review your actual written contractor with this company/producer in order to know exactly what legal remedies are available to you under the contract itself. then, at that point the attorney could help you recover for various types of damages you may be entitled to under the contract, or sue in equity for specific performance of the contract based on its actual wording. if you would further assistance or representation in this matter, email me directly with how you would like to proceed. thanks.

Have the contract reviewed. It has probably been breached by the producer giving rise to an action against him. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.
