Great answers... Is that 1/2 upfront, payment in full, Invoice or P.O... it's seems in every level of this Industry headaches occur, when money is an issues...

I am currently involved in a dispute with a client where I provided Artist Development services to an Indie (everything from A&Ring, Tracking, etc etc etc)... I've recieved partial payment and have to resort to Collections and Court to collect the rest (all certified letters were signed for, yet not responded to)... Long story short, I think they've mistook my kindness as a weakness, and now I have close to 20 sessions of their material...

At the end of the day I want my money... the only benefit to having these sessions is if the Artist dies (i.e. Tupac or Biggie)... I understand your not an Attorney... However, any insight is appreciated... I got the kid his deal (good guy... still friends), he understands my situation... I dont wanna hurt his career... and turn his project into a casuality of war... I even acted as an A&R consultant for the company...

If I didn't believe in the artist, I'd be tempted to leak a bootleg of bloopers... there is a lot more to the story... including finders fee and points...
