Copyrighting my Music
7 Answers
Hi.
I have written and recorded a few of my original songs and I want to get them Copyrighted before I play them at Gigs.
Does anybody know how and where to get my songs Copyrighted so I don't have to worry about other people ripping me off?

This is where the copyright in the sound recording comes into play. Copyright law recognises the problematic nature of this situation which is unique to sound recordings, and gives sound recordings distinct protection in their own right that is separate from that in the underlying work. The copyright in the sound recording will run for 50 years from the year of recording, or 50 years from date of release if released in that time. Again actual duration may vary slightly from one country to another depending on national laws.
