I am a babe in the woods here and hoping that webmasters can advise me what to do. I own 44 titles that are distributed on dvd by Platinum X. Licensing deals were made with respect to european distribution by which Platinum X in North America acted as agent and gave dvd distribution rights to Platinum X Europe for a fee. Long story short, Platinum X Europe is now granting licenses of my product to
www.adultlicenses.com and I'm screwed.
I've sent the following to the guys at
www.adultlicenses.com:

Their reply was:
I am sorry but we have a deal with Platinum X Europe, and we are not
removing the content. You are welcome to sue us, we will not remove the
content, PERIOD.
My question is: What do you do? Are there lawyers who help you for a flat fee or on some sort of contingency basis?
I've invested everything I've ever had into my movies and this kills me to have this happen.
Has something similar happened to anyone here?
What is the reputation of the people at
www.adultlicenses.com?
Thanks for your time,
Brandon
