whats to consult?- Have you made a dime off the song? do you intend to?-- as long as your answer is no to both of those questions, they can't do jack shit... They assume you are marketing this song, that your performing it, selling it on a cd- they want a chunk of the cash they assume your making. If your not making money, don't worry about it.

What range of time or money or what ever needs to happen for it to be liek that in his state is something that none of us could guess at since we're not entertainment lawyers, but I still say "consult a physician and seek medical help immediately".

I don't see how you can get sued for lost income, if your not making a dime off it in the first place.- He's not taking money from anyones pockets by making a song in an attempt to elevate. I could see all that shit happening if he made a little mixtape and sold a copy, but its soundclick, thats like getting sued by dre for spittin over a dre beat in your car.

granted, Im sure you know more about this shit than I do, since you actually have a reason to know the legalities, I just don't see the logic in getting sued over a track thats not generating any income.

nah, the use of an artists voice isn't loss of wages (which would be that someone took money that they otherwise would have made without the interferience), it's loss of income if you don't pay it. Like...ok, I got it, it's liek tihs: This company makes it's money by leasing out copies of their artists' voice. By you not paying them for the thing they do every day causes them to lose income. It's like working for an employer that dosen't pay you, in effect. Just in this case, he dosen't know he's acting as an employer and refuses to pay em. Putting them tracks back up is def gonna get the dogs sicked on him. These guys don't play around man, lol. The fact that they warned him makes any hope for an "I didn't know" legal defence completely disapear. Especialyl seeing that "ignorance isn't a legal defense". Personally, in his shoes, I'd a had a lawyer on the horn this morning.
