QUESTION

Withdrawing from the recording contract, author rights?

Asked on Jan 26th, 2012 on Intellectual Property - California
More details to this question:
I recorded the songs in Ibiza, Spain. I recorded the acoustic versions of my songs with two musicians. In the contract the percentage of mine author rights is higher then theirs, as they did only music arrangments. As my decisions about the songs, name of the songs, order of the songs, photo and cover of the album, were not accepting I want to withdraw from the contract. I would like to ask if and how it is possible. The album have not been released yet, but producer is going to do as soon as possible, as he know it is against my decision. Many thanks in advance for your response.

Generally speaking, a deal is a deal -- you are not entitled to be excused from your contractual commitments merely because you choose to do so or because you counterparties have disagreed with your decisions.
