Its not simply that they've broken their contract and not paid you, but they are also violating your copyrights.To that end, you have the option of drawing a line in the sand and demanding payment by such and such date. If you do not get it, you can do the following.1) Its your copyright still and you are the only one with rights to it. Go ahead and shop that work to someone else and license or sell it.2) If the first company is actually publishing something that contains your works, they are now doing so illegally. You can seek a court order to get an injunction on those goods to stop them from selling any more of it. After such an injunction, they'll be left with the option of making a deal (and paying) with you, ceasing all sales of that product or breaking the court ruling by continuing to sell it and risking the consequences of such.Ryan S.
