copyrights....

[Elroy2002]

Here is the work around - register it as set or work this way you can group them under a collection or compilation ths way one price covers them all. I know because I've done mine. Alternately you can register your words with BMI and your songs. Join BMI and use their tools to generate copyrights.

The poor mans copyright. Send yourself the CD and words via registered mail. Leave it unoppened until when and if you need to use it. It will hold up in a court of law. The postage date, dates the creation of he work.

Build a web page and post all your words there date and post it like a copyright. It doesn't have to be a public page you can use your own ISP. for the sapce most ISPs offer user X amount of web space for "personal" use.

The main goals is to date the creation of your work so as to be the first of its kind.

I have recorded on 3 CD and now have just produced my own recently. So Iv'e been through this before.

Hope it helps

Jessica if your lyrics are as good as your singing then it must be good. He's right though. you need to show when this is dated so that way it will hold up. getting it copywrighted is the right step but you really need to show for now. i took a business law class last semester and you just need to be able to prove that it's yours first and when you did it. oh yeah are they country lyrics? You do know that my sister works for a record label. i can pass these along. call me we'll talk
