Re: Plagarism
This is a question of several aspects, contract law to interpret what agreement the musician had with the CD producer and/or recording artist, work for hire laws, copyright registration and copyright infringement. We would be happy to advise, but not for free and additional factual questions must be asked of the musician and/or artist.
