Question!

[garyadams69]

Hi, my name is Gary. I am a musician, i have three songs that i have wrote, and created all melody too. I basically done everything. I needed somebody to that has the equipment to do this. So, i hired this person with a studio to play the instuments and put music to them. I am paying him per hour to do this. All he is doing, is adding music to whatever i created. He offered me a deal to where he will charge me less air time,if i give him 15% of the copyrights. My question is, first is this a good idea? Secondly, i dont want anybody to have control over my songs, but me. Is there a way i can write an agreement between the both of us, to where he will recieve 15% as agreed but i have total control of my songs. I will be singing my songs to. He just wants 15%. Can you give me a sample contract and some ideas to protect myself, as soon as you can? What should i do? And how do i do this? My email address is; [email protected], please email me as soon as you can? Thanks Gary, again my email is

Get real. Why should I or anyone else give YOU work and knowledge FREE and not get part of the copyright too? At some point if he finds an agent that agent will take 10-15% and more too.

As to whether it is a GOOD or BAD idea, I can't say. You may be the next BEATLE and the song royalties eventually worth $100,000,000. Or ZERO. It may be GREAT but you can't exploit it, or it may suck.

That's a business decision, not a legal one. What are you getting for that 15% -- how much in value? What is the likelihood it is far less that the chance of making it big.
