Hey guys,

I will certainly post what happens in the individual library section.

I’m hoping the company does the right thing and (1) pays (2) has an answer for such a low sync fee.

I’ve put in 3 or 4 emails and 2 voicemails… perhaps my next thread should be what to do when a library doesn’t respond!

Thanks for the replies gentleman…
I did file with BMI but as Mark mentioned, the real money is in the sync.
(or should I say down the sink?)

To add insult to injury the company has failed to mail me my last statement and is not returning emails , calls about this. I’m going by my co-writers statement for the sync amount.

Needless to say, I wouldn’t recommend them at this point.

I’ve had cues with them since 04′ and have seen some pretty nice checks and placements in the past.

In keeping with forum rules if you want to know more please feel free to PM me.

Hopefully they will resolve it soon but if not I may try and remove the tracks
thanks

thanks for the input Michael

thanks Michael!

According to some “legal opinions” (unless I’m reading incorrectly here…) even if there was a payment made for producing a group of cues, musical works don’t seem to be covered under the nine categories of the U.S. Copyright Act.

Here’s a weblink for reference:

It would seem work-for-hire only technically applies to a few specific instances right ?

thanks
