Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Illinois

Entertainment Law

I am a recording artist and my shipment of cds was sent to another artist by dis makers. In the beginning we left several messages for disc makers and no response was given. We got in touch with them finally a week after the incident and they denied any knowledge, they responded by saying they would check into it. Weeks later no response we attempted to contact them again no answer finally yesterday which was a month later we were able to get through over the phone. The response was that she was unaware of the problem until her coworker told her that her clients cds was mixed up with our cds. She ended by saying she does not know where the cds are now but she would check to see if they received them, rewrapped them and if they are ready to be shipped to us. They did not take ownership of the situation and refuse to offer us an explaination. Is there some way they could be made liable for this situation? What can be done legally?

Well, until they properly deliver the CDs they are in breach of contract. You can enforce the contract by going to court, but unless there is a fair amount of money at stake, its probably better to try another way of complaining. For example, you could file a claim with the Better Business Bureau.

Please feel free to give us a call if you would like to retain counsel. Having a lawyer can sometimes make the other side move a bit faster.

If you paid for them, and you have not received them, you certainly have a claim.
