But what happens when the musician doesn't get paid? I'd say he or she could sue for payment, but that wouldn't entitle them to any copyright privileges unless a judge ruled that the works' copyright royalties could be used as a form of payment or something. :? In other words, Jason may want to dra...

Re: Yet more news. Again, not surprising.

And I think it DOES matter if they were paid because technically whoever filmed it still has the copyright Actually, I believe that if they were hired to film the footage, whoever hired them probably owns the copyright. Kinda like a session musician playing on an album. He just goes in and does his...

Re: goodwill, shmoodwill

I just reread the original post and I *still* feel it (pretty clearly) had a morally righteous tone of "I know what's best for you; keeping your order is valuing material things over your own self-respect and it makes you morally culpable for AU's screwing over of customers, to boot." Hi Elizabeth....

What, now they're writing comedy bits in their spare time over there at AU? That's golden. :lol:

More like junk bonds if you ask me.

goodwill, shmoodwill

... it would serve as a little bit of goodwill for the grief they put us through. I understand your point, but I think anyone is nuts to hold out for goodwill from AU. :( To paraphrase Hee Haw : If it weren't for bad will, they'd have no will at all. I wish folks holding out for the bonus items wou...

direct to BMG

How about I send about $60 cash direct to BMG for a DVD set? They get paid, and I get a DVD set within the next week. Sounds like a win-win. :wink:

bonus disc lending library?

OK, I just canceled my order with AU so I won't be seeing the bonus disc anytime soon. (Oh wait, neither will anyone else... but I digress.) I'd be interested in knowing if one or more people who are holding out for the bonus disc with AU would be willing to eventually share it with Amazon.com buyer...

Re: Overcharges

I also think that if your CC knows that the dispute isn't related to "services" but to "products" that were never shipped, you should be able to dispute them still, even if you ordered in Feb. I just got off the phone with my CC company and they had told me something similar. I was calling in refer...

no trinket

I think the best bet would be for AU to just drop this "trinket" business entirely and buckle down on delivering what they promised in the first place. It's clear that whatever item Ross is waiting for "pricing" on, it's going to be another involved ordeal that's only going to prolong the completion...

Re: Murphy's Law *squared*

Instead of using a good company to burn the bonus disc, we'll have Justin, our web master, do it, so we can save a few bucks! Is this true? I thought I read a post yesterday that said Justin was simply setting up the disc's menus, etc. You mean they're manually burning them on an iMac or something?...
