Legal Question
Am i being ripped off??!!
I was recently informed by my Film & TV Library that they have placed one of my songs in the forthcoming DREAMWORKS MOTION PICTURE TRAILER for ''JUST LIKE HEAVEN'' starring REESE WITHERSPOON. I was also informed that there is NO backend for theatrical trailers, is this true. How about any front end money, or a Customary fee for the use of my song in a motion picture?
Outside the U.S. you get paid for this, and I want to be sure I am not being taken advantage of in anyway.
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance, so I know where I stand. I'm sure THE CURE got paid for their song Just Like Heaven-Thanks again in advance.
