Question

Country: United States of America
State: Texas

I am the public relations director for a band. The group writes all their own music, but one person (the guitarist) mainly writes all the lyrics. Now the band is beginning to have problems with the guitarist believing he gets to run everything how he wants since he writes the lyrics. My question is if the band copyrights the songs under the band name, will the guitarist be able to tell them they can't play the songs if the band chooses another guitarist, or is there any way they can protect the songs so that the band can play them, especially since some have already been recorded and distributed on a demo cd?

Answer
