              5 Must Do, Simple Steps to Properly Copyrighting
              Your Music and Keeping Others From Stealing It!




Step 1:

Record your music (this can also include beats and productions
work), whether by writing it down as sheet music or making a
recording of it. Remember registering your work with the Copyright
Office has lots of advantages, versus simply choosing not to
copyright. Its always better to be safe then sorry, especially
nowadays with the Internet and file sharing going rampant.


Step 2:

Register your copyright by submitting together in one envelope,
your completed application, filing fee and copy of the music you
wish to copyright either in the form of sheet music or a recording
to the Library of Congress Copyright Office. The copy of your music
will be stored as a matter of public record.


Step 3:

Learn that by copyrighting your music through the Copyright Office,
you gain the protection of the United States Customs Department
from your work being imported illegally for someone else's gain.
This falls under Intellectual Property Rights protection. The
copyright owner must register their copyright with the U.S. Customs
service.


Step 4:

Know that if you choose not to register your music, and you find
someone else is profiting from it, you must register it with the
Copyright Office before you can file a lawsuit. However, having
your work registered before an infringement occurs entitles you to
collect lawyer's fees and statutory damages, instead of just actual
losses, which can mean more money for you.
