I followed your video to copyright 10 songs. I was sent an email from the copywriting office. They only registered one song in the group. The right tab to copyright 10 works is "Group of Unpublished Work" Make sure you are going to the correct tab or you will lose time and money. This video works for one song.
@yellowredblue4 ай бұрын
Check this out copyright.gov/circs/circ34.pdf It basically describes what you need to do to get them to consider copyrighting all the songs in your "published group of works". It is at their discretion. A full published album would probably be approved. Check out that document for info on copyrighting group published works. However as I said, doing group unpublished is highly recommended if your stuff isn't already published.

6:50 - When filling out the “Rights & Permission Information (Optional)” section, you should *NOT* include your phone number, as it will be published in the US Copyright Office’s on-line Public Catalog. Including your website URL is the best plan. Including your email address is OK, but it’ll be listed in the Public Catalog that can be harvested by spammers. On the other hand, it's fine to include your phone number in the Copyright Office's "Correspondent" section, as that will be kept private.

Interesting Fact: When you create music, art, photographs, and other creative works, Congress grants you and others an immediate and automatic copyright. US copyright law has foundation in the US Constitution: Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8. The next step is to *“REGISTER”* (rather than “copyright”) your automatic copyright claims with the US Copyright Office (USCO) to help prove your creation and corresponding copyright ownership claim and to have legal standing (the right to pursue copyright infringers in federal court). The USCO, among its many statutory and regulatory duties, is an office of recordation and registration. The USCO does NOT grant copyrights per se, but rather, it issues “Certificates of Registration” to authors, musicians/songwriters, and other creatives. It’s a federal judge who will determine the copyrightability of a creative work and not the USCO.

Hi, my question is do songwriters really need a demo to be completed protected? I can just copyright my lyrics but say for example: if I decide to hire a session singer, giving them a rough recording of me singing ( just so they know the melody) so they can record it, couldn't they say we're gonna steal this melody and just add our own lyrics, and since I've only copyrighted the Lyrics and not the melody I wouldn't have a case? And in the case with demos (I've never recorded one) But let's say I want to record one and I use a session singer for the demo, if I haven't recorded or copyrighted the melody how would I convey to them how the melody should go without just trusting they won't steal it? I hope I explained that ok. But basically just asking is just copying the lyrics sufficient enough? Thanks!😊

I have done the group of unpublished works several times, and if you do that application you start with work or the performing arts, and then it says that you should select sound recording to cover both the work and the recording. This is for group of unpublished works. If your stuff is already published, you'll have to do standard application, but if it's not, group of unpublished works is best. Should be guides out for it.

In that case I don’t think you would need to, like paying for photos on shutterstock to sell your graphic design work. I paid a studio to record a song of mine once and they added some beats and extra things but they are not included in the copyright because I wrote the song and paid them for their services
