  • joint authorship of copyright in a song

    Hi Guys n Gals..i really needed clarification on this.I have written songs jointly which have been used by a film company and broadcast..The contracts were non exclusive agreements.He has signed the same ones as me and now his new manager has said he did not have legal advice.He is basically trying to get more money.Here is the question.
    1.As a joint owner of the lyrics and music in the song..Do i have the right to grant a non exclusive licence to a film company without the permission of the other writer.?
    2.I am a co writer 50/50 and own the sound recordings ..Can i give the film company my permission and that would suffice?
    At the moment there has been a cease and desist issued to the film.I have spent lots of time and effort on this and needed some advice on how i can get it back on line.thank you in advance.
