They are copyrighted. I am listed as Co - Author on many of the songs. They were written as a band. Behind closed doors, we'd tell you that this song was so and so's, and this song was so and so's, but we copyrighted them as a trio, since we had a revolving door at Guitar. Even if a song's hook and words belonged to one person, the other members wrote "their part" for the song, hence why we copyrighted it as we did.
I'm hesitant to want to involve an attorney, as I don't think it needs that. I'm thinking about just hammering out a written agreement, and getting it notarized. I really hope that it works out for them. For me? I just don't have the desire to go back through that again. I write stuff at home, and have thought about picking up some cheap recording equipment so that I can start tracking stuff together, but I'm in no way shape or form interested in going through all of that again.
