Belle and/or Sebastian Owes Me Money

I don't mean to gripe. Correction. I DO mean to gripe. How difficult is it to pay someone for the work that they have done? That's retorical, or the answer should be 'not very.' I have very little recourse in my line of work, unfortunately. It's not as if I'm a brick layer who's been screwed out of 50 bucks and can just go drive my car through the brick wall that I've just completed. I deal in a more ethereal, intangible trade, and cannot reclaim my intellectual property as easily unless, say, I start poking out eyes. This is me giving your band the skunk eye from across the Atlantic. Dicks.
