In the mid-80’s I forfeited my fee for providing talent in exchange for 20% of future profits. Can I collect?
Question by Jeff L: In the mid-80’s I forfeited my fee for providing talent in exchange for 20% of future profits. Can I collect?
I have a written agreement and the writer/producer of this children’s album had claimed that it wasn’t selling well and that he hadn’t made back his production costs. I have very good reason to believe this isn’t true. His latest claim is that he doesn’t owe me anything because he’s now selling this music through on-line digital sales, as if our agreement only covered cassettes and CDs. He’s constantly bragging on-line about the checks he receives for digital sales through CDBABY. Is there a way to make him give me sales reports so that I can decide whether or not to legally persue this?

you’ll have to sue to get the accounting unless your agreement gives you the right to receive it already.
that’s what your attorney in the mid-1980s was supposed to look out for.
