Hate to ask this because it sounds lazy, but does anyone have a quick link directly to the place where you go to file a copyright for a song at the Copright Office? I have something I have to do now.

Also, will they let you upload an MP3 or do you have to send in a physical copy on a CD?

Just thought someone might have that at their fingertips before I go hunting and pecking. I have done it before but it was all on paper, mailing in, CDs and such. If someone knows and is kind enough, I will bookmark it this time.

Is this what you're looking for?

And this doesn't sound lazy, just a relevant question smile

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Interesting what audio file formats are not accepted, like Flac. It’s been a long time since I looked at this topic and the info does seem to be dated in this regard.

Jim,

Do you know if it's possible to use the option for copywriting a group registration for music on an album before you publish the album?

It's using the word registration for a published album but I want to copyright a bunch of songs on an album that has not been published yet, that's my whole point.


https://www.copyright.gov/about/fees.html

I have heard that there is an option where you can just take a bunch of songs and say that they are in a collection of say 10 or 12 songs that you haven't copyrighted and give a name to the collection whether it's published as an album or not and you can cover all of the songs for the $65 fee.

Is that correct? Is that a legit way to do it?

😃

Yes, When working with Pumping Station Road we registered three complete albums; that is one complete album per registration. I see that option is still available. Go to www.copyright.gov and click on register your works.

When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
