Authorship is a glorious thing, but it can be faked. Sometimes a person's name is attached to a work that he in fact wrote little to none of, and he receives credit equal to or greater than the people who really wrote it. If they don't get any credit at all, then it's Stealing the Credit. In more benign cases, this is due to that person being part of a team whose members all get credited on anything any of them worked on (this may be enforced by contract). In other cases, it's a star performer or big-name executive who insists on being recognized as the writer of the works they will make famous; such stars/executives are often allowed to get away with inserting their name into the byline after they contribute just enough to prove that they really did write part of it. This latter phenomenon is largely endemic to the music industry, where each credited songwriter usually receives an equal share of the royalties. May overlap with Real Life works created by ghostwriters, people who actually did the work, but are not credited or receives very little credit, having been paid in advance for this contractual obligation, if the nominal author is actually a co-author. See also In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It, for when anybody remotely connected with the work steals the spotlight by taking an unequal credit, and False Credit, for when somebody is credited with something that they made no contribution to. |

In the Columbo episode "Murder by the Book". The mystery-writing team of Ken Franklin and Jim Ferris is like this. Ferris does all the actual writing, and Franklin handles all the interviews, book signings, and other publicity events. When Ferris decides he wants to write more serious literature and tries to dissolve the partnership, Franklin murders him. | |

In Roberta, the lyrics of the Movie Bonus Song "Lovely to Look At" were credited to Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh. Fields was the actual lyricist; McHugh was the composer Fields normally worked with as a team. | |

In Hannibal, David Mamet is credited as one of the two writers, despite little to nothing of his draft used in the actual film. It was just because his contract demanded so. | |

Queen: Following Freddie Mercury's HIV diagnosis in 1987, the band decided to credit all of their songs to the entire band regardless of who actually wrote it. For instance, "Scandal" was written solely by Brian May and "These Are the Days of Our Lives" was written solely by Roger Taylor, but the whole band is credited for them. | |

Genesis: During Peter Gabriel's tenure as frontman, the band had a policy of crediting every song to the full group to reduce infighting. This was even the case for songs that were primarily written by one or two members, such as "More Fool Me" (written by Mike Rutherford & Phil Collins) and "Counting Out Time" (written by Gabriel). The band abandoned the policy in favor of individual credits following Gabriel's departure, which resulted in the infighting that they wanted to avoid, which factored into Steve Hackett's departure. | |
