Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California
performance royalties
My ex-partner wants to perform our music without giving me any royalty money when she will be making money for those performances. She is the lyricist & I am the composer/arranger.
Can she do that?

Re: performance royalties
Did you copyright your songs with your name and the date of copyright? Can you prove that these songs were composed by you? Did she help in composing these songs? Were the songs composed before or during your relationship with her? You are entitled to royalties if you can prove ownership of the songs. I have handled many matters of this type and I am a musician myself, so I know the law. I would need to speak with you regarding these questions in order to give you sound legal advice. You can reach my office at 877-546-9918 or by email. The call and consultation are free. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
John Hayes
