I guess you're right...
For example; If you hired me for a guitar track in your song, then I used your track to help someone else finish another song... What could you possibly do about it?


More like - I hire you for ten dollars to add a guitar riff to a song and then someone else hires you to play a similar riff in their song. I'd still own the song. So would the other person. And you'd have twenty dollars.
I've done work for hire before. There was a bunch of forms to sign releasing the right to my performance. Now it's in a movie somewhere and someone gets residuals. I got a paycheck.
