What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I'm unsure if this would be an intellectual property issue or not, but since it has more to do with the contract, I'll post it here. This past June, I signed a recording contract for a 2 track EP, and now I wish to release a remix EP for one of the tracks on that first EP. The label I signed the contract with has shut down indefinitely and has indicated that they *might* not release this remix EP because of this shutdown. They have not indicated when they will re-open for business, nor have they explicitly stated that they will NOT release this EP, but they have refused to answer any of my subsequent emails. Does this count as an anticipatory breach of contract? (a term I got from Google Law University)
Notes: The contract pertains only to the two tracks on the first EP, and under "Remix Contribution," it says "Not Applicable." Also, the contract includes a release commitment clause, in which they are obligated to release the EP within 6 months of the signature date. They released the first EP within the 6 months, but does this pertain at all to any subsequent remixes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
