Quote:the key sentence "ole will also provide support for the recording of a new EP"

When I saw that ole had put out an EP for country singer Sam Grow on itunes I was hoping they would do the same for Haley. So this time its legit. Some new music actually on the way.

Quote: Under the new agreement, ole will gain worldwide co-publishing rights to Reinhart's existing catalog and future compositions.

Quote:Lately, we’ve adopted the business nomenclature of Rights Management, seeing ourselves operating in a broader rights management role. In that direction we have a direct deal with YouTube and are managing assets on behalf of clients in the master and audio visual realms. We are also in the secondary rights business, audio visual retransmission and I see us getting into neighboring rights in the near future. Music publishers have a natural ability to manage complex rights environments and data sets so it is our role to extend the scope of our rights management activities.

Quote:...many indie deals will include a clause giving the indie publishing or co-publishing rights. Publishing simply means licensing the songs (the compositions/lyrics) themselves (not the recordings – this is separate and the subject of another article) and administering those licenses, which means collecting the licensing fees, doing all the paperwork, and paying the artist his or her share. A publishing deal normally grants the publisher the copyrights in the songs in exchange for 50% of whatever income that publisher receives from licensing the longs. More common today are co-publishing deals, where the artist and the publisher co-own the copyrights and the artist receives 75% of all income received.

...New artists should decide whether they want to try to find a separate, established publisher, self-publish, or let the indie do it. The artist’s decision here will depend on many factors — the quality of the artist’s songwriting and licensing potential of the songs; the indie’s funding, plan for publishing, and connections to performers and the television and film worlds; and the artist’s ability or connection to find license opportunities himself, etc.

There's a good chance they did given their primary focus seems to be acquiring rights to music. They possibly paid $25 million back in May to acquire the catalog of the band Rush.
