Work
Who owns?
Music
Tom and Mark appear to have written the
music. Where they have individually worked
on the music, they will individually own the
copyright in the music they have written.
If they have worked on certain parts of the
music together, it is likely that they will jointly
own the copyright in such music.
Lyrics
Tom appears to be the sole lyricist. If this
is the case, he will own the copyright in
the lyrics.
Sound recording
Robbo is recording the sound for the gig that
Atomic Tigers are putting on. Accordingly,
Robbo will be the owner of the copyright in
the sound recording.
Film
Again, Robbo is filming the gig, therefore he
will be the owner of the copyright in the film
of the event.
Text
Whoever creates the text will be the owner of
it. (Let's hope it was Tom!)
