Re: Copyright Infringement

You have rights to this product even though you never signed an agreement. If you are trying to reach them and your calls are not being returned you have little choice but to go the next step. Sometimes just a letter from an attorney will help. However, not knowing all the circumstances surrounding your issue it is difficult for me to make a recommendation. In any event, any attorney would be happy to give you a free consult, including us.

Re: Copyright Infringement

Under copyright law, a creator owns his/her creation unless he/she did the work as an employee acting in his/her capacity of employment (i.e. if you are paid a weekly salary to write a television show, the show belongs to your employer) or if there was a written agreement stating the work was a "work for hire." Of course, in either instance the creator must actually be paid in order to be considered an employee.

You may be entitled to statutory damages and attorney's fees.

You should immediately contact a competent copyright litigator to discuss your case. (I no longer handle litigation, but do negotiate and review agreements.)
