Copyright is one of the topics that we cover. The family of Bob Marley have been in on-going battles to maintain, own and deal with the rights of the image of Bob Marley. Unknowingly, Marley signed away his rights to songs he wrote and music to Island Records. It is a mistake made often, and especially if uneducated about what your rights are, it can easily be taken away with a simple signature.
That leads us back to contracts, ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SIGNING. You cannot say you didn't know something because you didn't read the contract or didn't understand it.
