Producers are taking advantage of artists taking over the moral and economic rights of artist work and labor
When a work (Song/movie/art) is created. We at the copyright office first look at 3 major components, who has invested what and where.
Labor: The originality and creator of the idea. The late nights and daily hustle that was put into the birthing of the idea/product
Creativity and Judgement: The making/producing of the artist, that’s the musician and the engineer after producing, the musician pays for the work done. So the engineer doesn’t own any rights to the song again
Investment: The producer then brings in the money for mass production. Now the producer becomes the copyright claimant.
So at the copyright office we ask, who is the author and who is the claimant.
However that’s not what is happening in the creative art industry. Producers are taking advantage of artist, they control and take over the moral and economic rights of artist work and labor
