Ask a Lawyer QuestionCountry: United States of AmericaState: 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? AnswerNortmally the band can still play and use them if the band has the copyright...How to thank TFD for its existence?

Google did not make executives available for an interview, but Associate General Counsel Nicole Wong said in an e-mail that a 2001 case established that a search engine may display miniaturized images without violating copyrights. This position starts from the premise that copyrights are, fundamentally, property rights, and that property rights are, as a general rule, a good thing. |
