An author approached me asking me to sponsor publishing of his books.
Learning from TMF , I am concerned about my ownership and control.
Question1: what is really the difference between the rights of an author and the rights of the publisher of the work?
Question 2: If I register a publishing joint-venture with this author and publish this works does it give me equal rights to the copyright and profit of this work for a lifetime ( assuming the author agrees to the terms of this equal rights )
Question 3: If answer to question 2 is nay, what do I need to do to have equal rights and claims to the copyright and profit from this work for a lifetime.
I have searched this topic in the internet and even read local laws but couldn't get the answers I really need.
I am in Nigeria if that helps.
Thanks.
