Any and all legal action will be taken in the event of a copyright violation. Legal remedies will be sought in the state of Tennessee. In the event a copyright infringement occurs, a legal letter of demand will be served demanding that the infringer cease and desist as well as pay monetary damages and all legal fees. If this action is ignored by an infringer, a lawsuit will be filed in Federal Court. If the infringer fails to appear in Tennessee for trial, a default judgment will be sought for damages and all legal fees and court costs. Collection of that judgment by any legal means will then be pursued.
