Can I sue?

Talk to a lawyer. Not enough information, and I don't know of anyone on this board who's actually passed a bar exam.
 
We have several members who have passed the bar exam and are current, or ex, practicing attorneys. David Jimerson and David Saraceno are two off the top of my head.

However, there's practically no chance that they would give actual legal advice on a question such as this, because a) I don't think either of them specialized in this area of law, and b) they may not be licensed in brandondull's state, and c) attorneys get paid for legal advice, and need to be, since they become liable if something goes wrong for following their advice.

So an internet posting is not a good place to solicit legal advice.

If you want competent qualified legal advice, you'd have to talk to an attorney who is licensed in your state, and who professes expertise in the particular type of law you're interested in.
 
Contrary to popular belief, passing the bar does not give you the ability to shoot purple lightning out of your hands. Would that it did.

They don't teach the rule against perpetuities in film school, either.

I have to laugh out loud on this one.

Only an attorney or law graduate can appreciate this excellent humor.

To Brandon, my advice is to assess what you perceive as recoverable damages versus the huge expense, time, frustration, and aggravation of actually filing a suit, and going to court.

If it is for money and a civil suit, it's essentially a coin toss.

I've tried cases from Superior Court to the U.S. Supreme Court. There are no assurances of anything in the endeavor.

My reasoned advice is to ask you what you hope to achieve, with what amount of time and money versus having an attorney write a $250.00 letter demanding a cease and desist.

I have huge issues with videographers routinely using unlicensed music beds to promote their endeavors.

It happens all the time. However, actually expending time, money, and effort to stop it is another matter.
