No. Ever read a biography? People can write about whatever they choose. There's not a copyright on incidents.

If the incident was you and the other person writing a song that now the other person is taking complete credit for, then yes. But it's a song that the other person wrote without your help, then no.
Good Luck.

Events in your life aren't intellectual property, you don't own an incident so much less as Osama Bin Laden certainly doesn't own 9/11.
The intellectual property was created when the person wrote the song, and as such the writer of the song has the intellectual property rights, that is, if they copyright it first.

No. The only people that would get royalties are the writer/composer and the performer, if it's recorded and put up for sale.

If it was in the news or something public, or you are a public figure--NO You might have a case if it were slanderous.
But I am not an attorney. You might want to talk to one that specializes in copyright law. You better make sure the song is selling enough to be worth it.

No. Artists can get their inspiration from anywhere they choose and get paid for that inspiration when they create something like a song. Unless you were part of the creation process, instead of just providing the muse, you are out of luck.

No because it was the person who wrote the song's creativity that penned it, not your actions.

Nope. Get over yourself and try writing your own song.

Not legally, but you could get something from the composer. Or you could always threaten to take him to court - it's worth a shot!
