if your work, idea’s, and original design/art is being abused, plagiarized, copied, in other words “ripped off” by a major label or performance piece, which invests time and money into infringing upon others or “your” opportunity and future, have no fear, file a law suit in the state which the business owner of the product being marketed resides. One must file a law suit against a business in the geographical region or district it is located in, and filing the papers oneself or with help is sometimes necessary if finding an attorney is problematic. Generally ripping off others work is a common experience these days, and persons with financial gain understand many will fail, as artists tend to be poor business people-which is sometimes how they get away with stealing material. Be certain to copyright your work or collect all proofs of authenticity, its against the law to infringe upon others work or copy it if the author/creator decides they should ultimately receive credit and payment and not ANOTHER. The fact that major label players disregard placing proper credit and are cheap to not pay or compensate is an issue. Finding a lawyer to sue major labels in larger firms is difficult, however non for profit arts related organizations will provide sound advice and many states have arts related organizations which provide counseling to artists and creators, some have legal organizations, specifically in the business of assisting artists in need. One can contact the federal copyright office as well. it takes research and preserverance to succeed as an artist. And do not be misled by entertainers whom make public appearances with politicians that plagiarize, infringe upon others work, either the politician is not concerned with the government in protecting copyrights, they have no clue “whats going on” or they could be corrupt. Its your right to collect payment for your work, and infringment goes far beyond what one might construe as its actions. Skadden law firm in New York holds lectures on infringment, the detriment to culture and artists on the whole.
