Hi Pam,

Welcome to JPF!

I have offered, and accepted tons of help and advice on this and other sites. I have also done a lot of co-writes. I have never asked for, or accepted, a co-write unless it was discussed beforehand. When I want to do a major part of the work, be it musically or lyrically, and want credit for it; I will approach that person with an email or PM. Without some kind of understanding in place, oral or written, I think any lawsuit would be ill conceived. I also think it would be in bad taste. I believe almost all of us are here to learn and to help each other as much as we can. I believe we would applaud one of our own making it and not look at it as sour grapes. Of course all of this is MHO.


Have a goodun,

John W. Selleck BMI Songwriter
A day without learning is a day lost forever.
