unorthorized use of material for book
I entered into an agreement to share research with an author for the purpose of co-authoring a book. He has used my research and contacts and published something without my permission. He now looks set to enter into a film deal claiming all contacts are his alone. E mail clearly states we are co-authors and info is for book alone. How do I proceed to protect my interests. The event was major news many years ago but my story was never released and has been put in print recently and is about to be used in movie.

I can't say I disagree with my colleagues though I would suggest other tactics before you start spending thousands of dollars on legal fees. While this may be the eventual necessity, there are some preliminary steps you can take. A lawyer should begin by reviewing your agreement. If you'd like to call for an initial, free consult, you should contact me.
