What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Illinois
recently me and couple friends who are young professional in Elgin, Illinois produced a travel show and planned to distribute it to local TV station in order to get our exposure. We’d work hard on it and with the corporation of the city, police department and other local organizations and businesses we where lucky enough to do a public premiere. All of the cast and crews are all volunteer We also sold the vcd/dvd to fund the future show. Yesterday I heard from my friend that our show was shown on a satellite TV station in California. We never gave permission for anybody to air the show anywhere. The video that was shown on the station did not include the intro. that we have and the credit at the end was also cut out. I’m wondering if the station is reliable for this.
The only thing we did was emailed them telling them to stop airing the video, but today they still showing it on air. They didn't answer their email. And we are planning to call them directly, but we need help on with to say or who we should talk to.
Please help us on how to continue with this situation, do we have a case on this? If it really come to suing, what is the estimate cost involve in this? We are a group of young people with little budget. Is there anybody local or state that can possibly help us? I know private lawyer could cost a lot.
Thank you in advanced
