Copyright And Music, The Right Way To Protect Your Rights
Using copyright to protect your music
If you want to get published, or even if you self publish your work, you will be sending copies to your agents, record companies, or other individuals. Can you trust those who get hold of your work to respect your rights, or will you discover one day that your music is being passed off as someone else’s work, while you miss out on the royalties.
Having seen my own work turn up in the hands of plagiarists who have claimed it as their own, I now take copyright very seriously, and would urge anyone to follow these simple steps.
Do I Need A Copyright
Creativity is one of the human traits that can apply to any area of one’s life. Creative people have two tendencies. Firstly, they are capable of envisioning something new and different, such as a new way of doing something, or a new idea, or a new way of expressing their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Secondly, they want to share their new insights with the world. Most people who have the creative gene also have the tendency to want credit for their creativity. This is where the wonderful world of copyrights comes into play.
