To me it doesn't seem like a new arrangement of the song because it sounds absolutely nothing like the original, he basically copied the lyrics only, even the cadence was different. If I write a melody to someone's spoken word poem, is that a new arrangement?
- tunesmith 14y agoI guess it depends on if they were able to previously publish that spoken word poem as a song, and if you are in turn licensing it through the Harry Fox Agency. If it's instead just lyrics that you write a melody to and it is unpublished so far, then you could be co-writers before the song is published.
