: : I would like to use full length tracks from Various Artists, in a mix/compilation format. The site visitor being able to listen to songs pertainent to the theme of the site. What channels must be pursued to achieve this economically? : Dear Jeff, : Start with ASCAP, BMI, and SECAC, and the Harry Fox agency. If they don't solve the problem, they ought to be able to lead you to the solution. : If not done right, it could be a painful problem. : Dear Corey Breed, : The first question is what is the nature of your trademark registration. The second what is the mark. From this basis we could carve out a plan. : Although the problem is local we could handle it up to the point of actually going to court. Our approach is a pragmatic desire to do the best and to avoid unnecessary cost to the client. : We would start with our Reality Check (sm) for $250, analyze the situation. Once reaching a "reality" of what the situation is, it is likely that it might be solved by claim letters or negotiation. We can handle that too. : Going to court is very expensive, even if you win, even if you ultimately win plaintiff's attorney's fees, which is not the usual case. : Send us the retainer for the Reality Check (sm) so that this matter can be set up in detail even if it ultimately concludes with the use of Texas counsel. : I don't trust doctors, and go to great lengths to make sure that I don't get flimflammed by them and pay for the unnecessary or pay too much. Well, lawyers can be just as untrustworthy, without being unethical that is where the Reality Check (sm) came from. : Give us a call. There is no charge for the call. : M.
