This is what happens in book publishing also. We call it ghostwriting and or helping the career of an author by ensuring their shine. Although this is the nature of the business, it can back fire and also make the artist/author believe that they have more talent than they actually do. These tactics can cause the artist to develop the big head and forget about the help they received. What happens next is what is discussed in the book, Why Authors Fail. The struggling author starts to lack in delivering ongoing value. Pharrell Williams had the following to say about a similar situation in music publishing. Despite having limited input into the creation of Blurred Lines, Thicke was given a co-writer credit, which he says entitles him to about 18-22 percent of publishing royalties. Why would Williams be so generous? This is what happens every day in our industry, said Williams during his own deposition. You know, people are made to look like they have much more authorship in the situation than they actually do. - Pharrell Williams
