How do I copyright my music?

Essentially it is a simply process. As soon as you put your music or lyrics down in tangible form it is (in most countries) immediately copyrighted without you having to do anything! Great, but there's a catch .. although you have immediate copyright control, if someone steals your work you will need to prove that you came up with the idea before the other person.

If a copyright dispute goes to court it is a case of 'who has the most proof wins'! So if two people claim to have written a song on the same day, but one posted it to himself by recorded (date stamped) mail, he will have the stronger case. But, if the other can show the logic or pro tools data files that perfectly match the computer audio sound wave files, he will have a stronger case and so on.

The key is to take steps to document your creation, whether it be keeping computer DATA files, sending your song to an online copyright office or sending it through date stamped post.

Copyright

Song Pitch PRO (SPP)is a platform for songwriters to pitch their music with more accuracy than ever before. You must own the copyright, or, if you own only part of the copyright, you must have consent from all other parties.

By submitting a song you agree that you have the right to do so and agree not to hold SPP liable for any breech of copyright.
