Just to add a final thing about record labels/publishing. I have a little more information which is hopefully solid. Copyright is extremely confusing and some of what I said above (involving publishers) might not have been quite right - I am basing all this off of information I learned from a unit at college over a year ago, so it's quite hazy. I will look through my notes later and see if I can come up with something definitive.
For now, I dragged this off the internet:
Record Labels
Record labels are generally responsible for: developing the artist, working with producers, paying for/arranging studio time, mixing, mastering, graphics, packaging, distribution, and marketing.
The record label owns the master and all associated rights under a sound recording copyright (Does this mean ONLY the recording itself?
Music Publishing Company
A music publishing company handles four (4) different areas:
Performing Arts Rights -Royalties paid for radio/internet play and for live performances of the Work by someone other than the Artist or owner of the Works (i.e., ASCAP and BMI).
Mechanical Rights - Royalties paid to the owner of the Works when another artist records one of the Works (i.e., Harry Fox Associates).
Synchronization - Licensing Fees paid to the owner of the Works for use in television, motion pictures or commercials.
Sheet Music - Royalties paid to the owner of the Works for the sales of sheet music (paper or digital).
