Do I need to copyright my
material?
Technically, a song is copyrighted at the moment you write it down or record it.
However, you should always register your copyright with the
Copyright Office so you can PROVE that the song
is yours, and when you created it.
How do I copyright my
songs?
Contact the U.S. Copyright office at (202) 707-9100, or
download the forms
you will need to submit.
What are the chances my
song will be stolen?
Pretty slim. we've been in the business for over forty years, and we've never
personally known anybody who really had a song stolen. We've met the occasional
person who had a song that did bear resemblance to another song, but there was
no connection between the two writers that would have permitted the theft.
