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.
