Bit of a long post, Ill try and keep it short.
Basically DH was in a band a while ago (they split about a year ago). Before they split up they recorded an album together. One of the band members is trying to sell the cd on his website and said that the band are signed to his record label (which my DH didnt sign). Hes selling the cd at £6.99 and said to DH that he can buy some off him and sell them for more and make some money. DH is really upset as this guy will make profit of what my DH buys as well as ones he sells on his own and it wont be slit evenly with all the x-band members. Also this guy has put the singles on for free download!!
The guy emaild my DH and asked wether he liked the art work which my DH said NO and that he didnt want this to be released. The guy just printed them anyway. He knows my Dh should have a say in this as his name is on the CD but hes not listening to his opinions and has cut my DH off all the photos on the website and CD covers.
To make funds for a recording studio they borrowed money off my father in law, which one band member didnt pay back, so my father in law owns some of the copyright to the cd. He isnt bothered about getting the money or any of this trouble weve been having but wrote letters stating that he is going to sue for breech of copyright but that didnt resolve the situation.
I was just wondering what we can do to stop the sale of cd and how do we resolve the situation? As far as my DH is concerned all he wants is to forget all about the band. The problem is we dont have enought money to sort anything out
Does any one know anything about what action can be taken?
