A singer sings a brief but somewhat distinctive phrase (e.g., a yodel - not wildly distinctive, and the person isn't famous, although he works in the trade). A recording engineer hits the "record" button.
Does anyone know what specific authority/precedent there is on who has "fixed," i.e., "originated" the sound recording, absent (or ignoring whether there are) any other facts (such as release, assignment)?
