Would you know how someone can earn money from informing record
companies of cases of musical plagiarism/copyright infringement?
Example;I recognised a popular dance group in the U.K had copied the
tune & some lyrics of a song that was written by a song writing friend
of mine.
I informed the said friend of the name of the offending artists and
the name of their song & gave him a copy of their version.He shared
this information with his music publishers et al & successfully sued ,
and had all future pressings etc of the offending track show joint
writing credits , ultimately my friend actually earns more from the
track than the dance group.Sadly I was not rewarded for my troubles.I
seem to have a good ear for this kind of thing and I want to know ,
how could I as a "third party" successfully earn money from this
venture & protect my interests legally were I to try and do this again
in the future.
