Re: Why does ASCAP require you to re-register copyright to a vanity publshing compan
I am not a lawyer, and this should not be considered legal advice... but as I understand it the idea of assigning your IP to the publishing company vs. yourself is to protect you personally from legal trouble if it arises. My understanding is if someone sues over a copyright dispute; your house, car and other personal assets are not at risk in the event that you get a judgement related to the copyrights since the IP is owned by the company instead of you. Definitely something a music business lawyer could answer better than me.
