Dear Jill, I'm posting this to the list, because someone else might find this relevant, too.
Here in Seattle there is an organization called Washington Lawyers for the Arts. They offer limited free or very low-cost consultations with attorneys specializing in copyright for artists and other arts-related matters (such as immigration law for visiting artists, etc., etc.). If you're lucky, you may connect with an attorney willing to take something a bit further, if necessary, pro bono or for a reduced fee. Try finding something like that in your neck of the woods. There are good listings at this site: http://www.starvingartistslaw.com/help/volunteer%20lawyers.htm California's right at the top of the page. Good luck!
