Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California
They stole my music!
A company recently put out at DVD in which they used music from
local bands as a soundtrack. This company used one of my songs
that I wrote and recorded, but never contacted me about the use of
my music and recording. So I never signed a release or even was
able to read the terms of their release form. Not only did they use
my recorded music with out permission they also put the wrong
band name on the DVD case so there is less exposure, credit, and
advertisement given to my band in comparison to the other bands
on the DVD. They are also selling the DVD and making money off
of the bands that were used. I'm not sure what my rights are or
what to do in this situation... so if anyone has any insight and or
advice I sure would appreciate it.
-Thank you

Yes, they stole your music. You should contact me immediately. Have you attained a copy of the DVD they are selling? I'm on the westside.
