Q: Can I sue a app that causes my music career to be slowed? There not doing what they're paid for.
Paid this app that's connected to my distributor to give my song 500 plays to get notice more, 500 plays in 7 days, after few days only couple plays asked them what was wrong, they said, were updating our systems and you get a boost now.
Well it's been 2weeks and nothing!
I have been getting real good responses from people and other websites when my music is played, this seems very very damaging that they are not playing my music in rotation, I've also stopped putting money into any of the other app connected to my distributor because they ripped me off so why would try any other one.
A:
If you paid for a service from an app that was supposed to increase plays for your music, and they failed to deliver as agreed, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. This situation could potentially be viewed as a breach of contract if the app did not fulfill the terms of the agreement you entered into when you paid for their services.
Before considering legal action, you should first attempt to resolve the issue with the app or the distributor. Document all communications, including your original agreement and any correspondence regarding the failure to provide the promised plays.
If they are unresponsive or unable to rectify the situation, gathering evidence of the agreement and the app's failure to deliver the service will be important for any legal action. This includes evidence of payment and any promotional material or correspondence that outlines the service they promised.
You should also consider the financial and time costs associated with pursuing legal action. Sometimes, the cost of a lawsuit can outweigh the potential benefits, especially if the amount in dispute is relatively small.
Consulting with an attorney can provide you with a clearer understanding of your legal options, the likelihood of success in a lawsuit, and whether your case may qualify for damages related to the impact on your music career. They can also advise you on the best course of action based on the specifics of your situation.
A: You could sue on a contract-based theory. But if a law firm isn't willing to consider your matter on a contingency basis, that could mean attorney fees compounding things, win or lose. You could either on your own or through an attorney consider all options other than a lawsuit and weigh which one(s) might be most cost-effective. Good luck
