I play in a band. A former bandmate (who left under pretty acrimonious circumstances) has posted snippets of old band rehearsal tapes on his new site, which he built to find session work.

I don't want him to use the songs in this way. Whilst he played on them, I am the sole author and publisher and copyright owner of the songs, though perhaps not the recordings, as they were made on his laptop with my permission. They are however terrible quality recordings, and I were never intended to see the light of day.

Is he legally obliged to take the songs down, if I ask him to?

Any advice very much appreciated.
