From the course: Music Law: Copyrighting a Song
Welcome
- [Voiceover] Hello I'm Richard Stim. And welcome to Music Law: Copyrighting a Song. Why should you copyright your songs. Because by doing so it establishes your claim to ownership at the copyright office. And provides you with important legal benefits, if someone uses your song without permission. In this course, I'll explain the value of copyright for song writers. I'll walk you through the online registration process, and help you register one song. Or in some cases, a group of songs. I'll also help you sort out songwriting contributions. And explain how to formalize co-writer arrangements. With the use of a collaboration agreement. If you believe your songs have value and you want to preserve your claim to those songs. Then this course is for you.
