If I help with a word or a small suggestion for a song you've written that's one thing. If I flesh out an idea or write any new lines that are used then I am co-writing that song.



Josie, could you elaborate why this is a bad thing?

If the argument is just because someone should "learn their craft", it seems to me a legitimate way to do it.

But if you're saying that the ownership of the song quickly becomes a legal mess because the co-writer is automatically part-owner of the song, that's a different story. I've heard plenty of stories where people have claimed "co-writer" credits on a song because of some minor suggestion, and I agree that's problematic.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
