Greetings,
Last month I wrote the Attorney General (Elliot Spitzer) a letter regarding some issues I have with entertainment attys that have been creating negotiable instruments through my debtor, STRAWMAN, in order to steal my royalties.
To my surprise this week they had on CNN a report about Elliot launching a full investigation of record labels and royalty collection companies (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC).

They released $50 million dollars to artists, producers, etc. that have not been receiving their royalties. The labels claim that they didn't have current addresses on people, which is probably true for some. Then there is those of us who wake up to the UCC. I've been fighting with them for the last few years trying to trace where my royalties were going. They have my mail location.
Today, I received a response from the Dept. of "In"Justice, Criminal Division, where they are saying that they can't help me because it is not a Federal matter.
Correct me if I'm wrong someone, but isn't the Attorney General the boss of these music attorneys?
Meanwhile, they're all benefitting from this little game they play with these Production contracts, Publishing deals,and Recording contracts that are really negotiable instruments that ADVANCE a form of credit that they are cashing in for themselves!
Where do I go from here? Anyone....
