Ok, anyone out there feel free to correct any errors I make along the way. I'm
writing based on bits of pieces I've picked up along the way...
With regards establishing the facts, Warp don't need to show that Ken didn't
write the tracks. When it comes to signing over either license or full
ownership of a recording, the deal is normally between an "artist" (where that
can be a single person or an entire band) and a record label.
If the artist in question is Black Dog Productions Ltd, whether or not they
just licensed ownership of the tracks to GPR/Rising High, Ed or Andy are _not_
the owners of those recordings.
I can't think of a case off hand where someone has tried to reclaim ownership
of recordings of music they have written and won. A very famous case of
someone losing was the Beatles. Go web searching.
Of course if the people who signed the contract as the artist are fighting
each other for ownership, that's a substantial change in facts.
