My last band i recently split from because everyone in it has no respect for each other has recently put up a song with a my bassline in it. I am curious because since i recorded it isnt it partly mine? Dont they have to have permission to put it up?

Only issue is they are a bunch of teenage morons that smoke and do pot so i doubt if i tell them anything it would work.

However what should i do?
 
Yep, if you just wrote the bassline, you would have a hard time asking them to take it down. And, unless they get discovered and are on MTV in a week, what does it matter? I have posted questions that are similar, but usually involved songs that I have almost entirely wrote myself (usually everything but vocal melody). I wouldnt sweat a bassline though.
