    I will admit I am perhaps a little biased *coughs* but I think we have a large number of very talented writers, performers and more here. I hope it is what you need it to be, but like most worthwhile things, you tend to get more out, if you put more in.

    Hey James, nice intro. Welcome to our family!

    I should add though that some bands do split things differently, or their members simply aren't aware of the various components they are working with, leaving it for others to sort.

    Unless I misunderstand the point you are making, I would have to disagree EJB, if only because in terms of song copyright in publishing terms the primary components for what constitutes a song is at it's most fundamental simply the lyrics and melody. Copyright, and therefor copyright ownership, concerns what is new and unique about a song, and chord progressions for example are rarely that original. Most copyright therefore concerns primarily those two elements. For example, if I sing the same melody with different chords, or with harmony or without, it is still essentially the same song. If on the other hand I keep the chords the same, I can sing 20 different melodies and they would be classified as 20 different songs. A song can have many arrangements. In terms of a mechanical copyright, the recording royalty split, that would however cover the arrangement. In respect of the mechanical copyright then, the performing band usually does the arrangement and therefore gets the related royalty, while a share is paid to the songwriters and publisher in the form of a license payment. True, a modern producer can negotiate a share of the songwriting, because they can contribute so many key aspects of what the song is, things that are integral to the song's success, original elements that are fundamental to the song. This is especially true in pop and electronica based genres. The point being that percentages may approach what you are saying, but they relate to different things.
