this will be VERY interesting to see what happens here. legally, it's pretty obvious. if signed the contract with poland, you're gonna have to understand the polish law system. i would speak to someone you know in poland about how you would tackle something like this as if you were a regular bloke providing a service . if not, it's the uk system. whichever it is mate, and i would do what i said. just think of it from now on as if you were a regular business guy wanting to get paid. what i've learnt is you need to remove yourself from the music 100% and think purely along the lines of law/the way regular shit operates.. it's sometimes very hard for musicians to get their head around that i think.... luckily it hasn't happened that much to me, but the times it has, you need to be on the case and do things by the book. it's the only way you'll get it sorted...
you know, it's kind of obvious, but if you're in the industry, you've got to do alot of this type of crap yourself. it's a damn shame. it would be great getting solicitors/lawyers to sort this out, but tbh many of us can't afford it or it would just not be worth doing if we got one (check henry's first post). hopefully h will chase this and we'll all see a result!!! it truly would be great to get a result :)
