I am in a signed band with one great record under our belt. But all members of the band have either left the band or are preparing to do so, mainly due to creative differences. One member wants to continue to using the band name, but I feel like in order to do that, that member should compensate me for my years of hard work building the brand, not to mention the several thousand dollars I sank into the band to help us survive. Mainly, since the band formed many years ago I was almost the sole source of promotion, everything from postering to social media. I kept the band in the public eye with almost no assistance from fellow band members - even up to a few weeks ago. I was also the primary go-to man for radio interviews, media contacts, etc. I was responsible for getting our music in rotation on net radio stations. Regarding money spent, the other members have no financial investment in the band aside from their instruments. I spent my own money however on band rentals, studio rental, transportation, merch, printing, etc. I feel that I deserve a certain compensation - at least for that work on building the brand which the sole remaining member wants to ride on if not some sort of insurance that I will get the money I invested back. Actually the parties agree on this and the current consensus is that I would get a couple of points on the next album. I guess the big question is, is a couple of points enough or is it even worth anything? Any thoughts?
