And what happens if people can't agree on the songwriting contributions before a song gets put out?

I think with most creative arts, there is an arbitration process at the collaboration stage. So, I suspect ASCAP, BMI or SESAC would resolve it for songwriting partners.

That was another trick that Henley and Frey used with the Eagles, "add a word, get a third" - and with their dominant level of creative control of the Eagles, this gave them the lion's share of royalties.
