See, I just try to work it into the song-writing process. They don't even see it coming. Sure my contracts all rhyme, but they are rock solid legally.

(Verse 1)
The following stated participants
all shall share equally
anything that's created
and will benefit mutually

(Pre-Chorus)
For there may come a time
We we all will find
That this work will climb
and become more than we imagined

So we...
(Chorus)
Sign on the line!
Yes we...
Sign on the line!

...you get the idea;)

Sorry for the humor. It's actually a great topic to bring up IMHO! Great idea that needs to be covered. Pick the advice you want, but make yourself aware smile


Time to hit the record button and get this one digitized and immortalized!

Sounds like a hit to me.
