So I'm a rapper and one day a person comes up to me and says "I want to be your manager." But I say "I don't really want a manager right now." So later he calls you and says "Hey I got you a meeting at this record label and they want to sign you." And before I take the meeting I let him know once again, "Look man I appreciate all the help but I still haven't chosen you as my manager, I haven't signed any agreements or anything, but I will take this meeting to see what the labels are talking about." So then I go to the meeting and the meeting is a huge success and he even brought the label out to see me perform. About a week later I still don't feel comfortable with him being my manager so I let him know. "Hey man I appreciate everything you've done but I'm not really feeling you as a manager and I think its time we go our separate ways." Say a month later I go back and talk to the label that he introduced me to and I decided to do a deal with out him. At that point does he have to right to say "If you sign with THAT label then I'm going to sue you because I was the connecting source of the deal" ? Does someone have the right to be compensated for initiating/introducing two business partners that go into a deal.
I understand morally they may feel like they are owed something but technically under the law do they have a case?
