Yes, be *very* careful when signing licenses/contracts that involve publishing. I was handed a contract that a)allowed the record company to register the copyright to *my* work in *their* name, b)gave them the publishing rights for *subsequent* compositions (not covered by the license!), yet still contained a paragraph stating that I retain all my rights to the composition. This is no help, considering that all the rights that matter were in their control, exclusively and indefinitely. No thank you. ::Matthew J.
