What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
There is a video that was recently posted to Youtube with audio from a song that I recorded in my studio. The song was recorded in conjunction with a band I was in. I've since parted ways with the band and have not authorized use of this audio recording. The video was also posted under a different band name than the band that recorded it. The person that posted the video was the singer in the band and he produced and paid for it but did not ask permission to use the audio or permission to post the video in which I appear. Do I have a right to claim unauthorized use of the audio since it was recorded in my studio? I was responsible for all of the recording and was a co-writer of the music. Can I claim unauthorized use of the audio under the sound recording/mechanical rights copyright? What are my rights under the DMCA? Please advise. Thanks.
