There are too few details here and your question is too vague.
But I would say that the question is not “can they legally?”, but rather “will they?”. If they claim ownership of your music, and threaten to sue you for it, you’ll probably just give it away, cause paying a lawyer to defend your right and enter a lengthy court battle is not going to be worth it.
Now your employer has nothing to do with music, and sueing an employee over bogus cooyright claims doesn’t look too good on glassdoor. So there’s zero interest for your company to claim ownership of your open source music…
Personally if I were you, I wouldn’t be too worried.
- BizarroLand 5y agoEven if you're a corporate musician, you job wouldn't own the work you created on your own time. You are granted an immediate copyright as soon as you put pen to paper or record your compositions in some tangible manner. I am not a lawyer but any sane course would have a field day with that. It wouldn't be hard to say that we listen to Mozart's music and not Archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo's music even though the Archbishop was at one point Mozart's employer.
