In a band situation, who should be getting the Copyright to the songs? If one member does most of the writing for a song, should that member get "most" of the Copyright or all of the Copyright for that song? (Is the copyright to an album seperate from the copyrighs to each song on the album?) This should be spelled out in your band agreement. If you are all writing songs, then typically you should share ownership equally, especially because it's not just the writing of words & music, but the performance of the song in live concert and on recordings. Even if you all decide the song itself belongs to the writer, the Master Recording of that song belongs to the band. If you are getting into recording and touring, it's time to see an entertainment lawyer and get this stuff in writing. JMHO

"If one man can do it, any man can do it. It is true. But the real question is, if one man did it, are you willing to do what it takes to do it as well?" –Brian Austin Whitney
