Idk but looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened ngl.
company using my music without sync license. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves original creative work over the past 6 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues no cap.
The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the DMCA safe harbor provisions. Your state may provide additional protections.
I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
I've dealt with this before.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run tbh.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run smh.
Literally had this conversation with my lawyer last month.
What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.
I've dealt with this before.
Don't make the same mistake I did -- is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

The #1 mistake I see here is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Every situation is different so YMMV.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
