Yes, Rochr, having a little experience in copyright infringement, chances are that you wont get any financial compensation but the defendants will probably get a stiff warning about using copyrighted stuff in the future. This is assuming this goes to litigation. Further, it would more than likely win you financial compensation if you had filed for official copyright and gotten a copyright registration number for the article/articles. This would help you in retaining legal counsel and in the reversing legal expenses to the defendant if they should lose the case. Then, assuming again litigation, you can pursue for royalties and possible damages (suppose the music your covers are associated with are of a negative nature). And chances are that somehow, you must have a legal presence, perhaps not you but someone to legally represent your side, at the trial.
