"Written by" is used when no author type has been given - should we rather just prefix it with "Author" in that case?

As I understand the requests, they just want all but the names removed.

This is bad because people are usually very lazy when it comes to writing copyright details.
Thus there are many songs that are: "Written by: Author not set"

This is also bad because not all the "Authors" are "Writers"
and users may not use the built in categories for them.
