If a recording is made as part of contracted work (also called work for hire), such as an artist recording a song for a label, it belongs to the contracting party (the label, for an artist). If a recording is made independently, it usually belongs to whoever sponsored the session, or the production. A writer, arranger or other creative person whose input went into a recording can use a copy, to register copyright for their contribution to the work. (Recordings made for or by a label may require permission from the label, for this use.) Obtaining permission to use a prerecorded work as part of a larger work (an anthology, music for soundtracks) can be a complicated process. There may be several copyrights involved: A copyright to the lyrics, a copyright to the music, and a copyright to the performance.
It depends on how contracting language is written, but it's usually a combination of a number of stakeholders.
Upon creation, the song will belong to the songwriter(s)unless other arrangements were made (such as a work made for hire).
It may then be transferred or licensed to a publisher. The publisher likely has standing agreements with one or more rights administrators to handle sub-out licensing, such as a performing rights organization and a print rights administrator.
The copyright owner or administrator may issue a mechanical license that will allow a recording to be made and distributed. At this point, copyright in the song does not transfer: the underlying song is protected, and the recording is protected.
Depending on agreements between the artist, the producer, and the label, any or all of them may have a stake in the resulting recording. Further licensing, such as a master use, is generally done through the label.

copyright of music belongs to the sound recording company, composer and lyrics writer if the music is quite old (mozart etc) you can publish it, otherwise it is a copyright infringement to publish music on youtube without the owners permission The best way to avoid copyright infringement on YouTube is to post only content that is entirely your original work.
If the book is simply trying to piggyback on the success of the company, yes. But if the book is a critique of the company, no. Generally the publisher will include a disclaimer in the copyright notification of the book, clarifying the ownership of "all related indicia."
the coca cola company owns the copyright
theres no c in trademarkC is actually a copyright symbol. An example would be if you wrote a song and wanted to register it with the United States Copyright office, then you would see that c symbol following the year and the author's name or company.
Yes; unless other agreements were made, the publisher would control the rights. But WHO is the publisher? The company that prints the book is just a printer. The school itself has little to do with the actual production of the book. I was on the yearbook staff for 5 years through junior and high school. There are no copyright marks in my books nor do I think the school pursued and official copyright. All the candid photos used in it were used without express permission from the students depicted. So who would hold the rights? I worked on it...am I a copyright holder?
The publisher for the Twilight books is Little, Brown, and Company (Boston).
