Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

The answer is it depends. Copyright can be sliced in many different ways and it is especially complicated as it relates to music. The Song itself (composition etc.) remains with the writer or composer of the song unless otherwise contracted out. The Sound Recording itself is a different copyright, and depending on the contract the copyright can be owned by the executive producer or the artists, or both. If you do not have a contract, then ownership interest will depend on the relationship between the parties and how the sound recording was created.

It is important that you review your contract and if you do not have a contract then you need to contact and attorney to assist you.
