If there ever should be a situation where you need to prove you were first, then you can send a letter to yourself with the cd. Do that right away and don't open the letter, the post stamp will make this your piece of evidence. The old fashioned way of doing it in other words! PS I hope you will rock the world with this material. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

True, i completely forgot about this .. thanks Kris Years back we used to do this with my band in strong believe that our material was so "hot" and we need to be careful It cost nothing and you have at least something in your hands in case someone needs a prove.

I tabbed out all of my songs as sheet music and put them in a big envelope that I had date stamped at the post office and I keep them with the owner of intellectual property at Loughborough University so if anybody copies my work I have proof of when I wrote the song. I have all the lyrics written on them also so that is copyright. Paying those places is conning you in a way as you don't need to do that. The fact you have recorded a song gives you ownership of that song as long as it isn't copied of course. Copyrights are only needed for big corporations with copyrighting names etc. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Remember the Satch incident (it was him right?) who sued Coldplay for the viva la vida song because it was the same chord progression/timing? I mean, I get that one can have the idea "first" and such, but the idea of protecting that first (unless people are using the same lyrics and everything) seems a little shaky... I guess music is only really protected if it's a "hit"? Thoughts? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Fortunately, it's over now. I'm pretty sure there still are some countries which are like this.... As for music, graphics and such - properties are yours automatically, the problem that could arise is a proof of that So those advices given above are really cool and effective.

I have a friend in my town who works in organization Bogdan mentioned in Serbia. From time to time I give him my recordings and he copyrights all the things. All you need to do is feel a form where you would describe style of your music and duration. You can go more into it and describe instrumentation, number of bars and whole bunch of other things if you want to as well. Somebody told me when I was in USA of website that you can use that copyrights your material. You upload things online they give you contract to keep for your personal use if you ever need it. I think it was payed website - I will ask around see what info I can get on it You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I think you can forge a lot of things with forums and whatnot, so I think mailing it you to yourself and not open the letter is by far the best thing you can do. It's cheap and waterproof.
