Joint Works
The creators of joint works are equal co-owners of the copyright unless they have agreed to the contrary. Whoever contributed to the work has an equal claim to the entire copyright as a joint author. The copyright is not divided up according to who did what. Each joint author owns the copyright and each author has rights to use or license the work as long they split any money earned. One joint author cannot prevent another from using the copyrighted work.
