If "ownership" is the criterion, then a song I wrote would be mine; right?

Actually, if at a folk club or on Paltalk someone sang a version of, for instance, my Starbucks Song, I'd be pleased as the very old devil, assuming they didn't make a hash of it. If they changed it in some respect, but still doing a nice job, that's fine. I'd really appreciate if they mentioned my name in connection with the song, of course.
