Dissatisfied "Veronica Mars" contributors will be receiving refunds from the studio behind the film.
The recently premiered movie has made headlines for being the first fan-funded film. However, some contributors who helped bankroll the movie are not happy customers.

Some feel that they have been taken advantage of, after providing the momentum and basis for publicity as well as the initial capital for the film.
A Warner Bros. representative has confirmed that refunds will be provided to frustrated funders who seek it.

US country stars perform at London's Country to Country festival
Some of the US's top country music acts played for 15,000 fans at London's Country to Country festival this past weekend. Among the big names present were the Dixie Chicks, Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley, the Rascal Flatts and Martina McBride.
Zac Brown Band headlined the festival, playing a set that included covers of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" and Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic." The Dixie Chicks covered Miley Cyrus's global hit "Wrecking Ball."
While the Country to Country festival was completely sold out, album sales of country music in the UK made up only 2% of all albums sold in 2013. Triple Grammy winner Zac Brown, however, says that he sees country music in the UK music scene as being "at the beginning" and is in a stage that is all about gaining new fans.
This is the second year the music festival has taken place and will return to London and Dublin in 2015.
