Getting a record deal is one thing.
Getting your rights back? That’s almost unheard of.
In this case, the label agreed to return the band’s rights upon recoup. That doesn’t happen 
often. Other people in the industry even asked who negotiated that contract.
It wasn’t luck. It was intentional.
Too many artists before them had already lived the cautionary tale. Stories about legends 
like Bo Diddley being taken advantage of. Contracts signed. Rights gone. Catalogs owned 
by someone else.
And the line you hear over and over:
“I don’t own my music.”
Played in front of thousands. Toured the country. Fans think you’re a rock star. Then the tour 
ends and you’re back painting houses because you don’t own your masters. No mailbox 
money. No long-term leverage.
The spotlight fades fast when you don’t control what you created.
