thanx a bunch man! much love! :D

[nancejayne]

Thanks, The message was copyrighted in Nashville 1996 at the Mandrel Studios right there when I cut it. How did things get so complicated over an artist rights, every one else is looking to profit from someone else s works. Shameful!! That's why we have CD Baby's now for us true independent song waiters artists.

.This didn't tell me SHIT about copyrighting my album. These videos are garbage. SHOW PEOPLE

[jayphil713]

As a producer, let's say I've made 15 tracks with no vocals or samples, would I be able to send in all 15 tracks as a single work (since they are only beats) or do them one at a time once there are vocals laid on them?

[wade12393]

if i sample a song for my own record where do i stand legally on that i dont want to get sued by on 1

peace

[aGee4LiFe]

Were do I go to copywrite lyrics to raps, poems, songs,I really have some real good music but I don't know nothing about the legal side if things

[JakzBeats]

Haha, if you love to create music, then you dont have to do big moneys on it.. thats true guy's!

[shoshadee]

if some one loves to make music they have to make a livng profit in it they do also have bills to pay

[JakzBeats]

Alright..

[axemurderah17]

........

These are supposed to be 'How to' videos, not 'What you should do' videos....

Exactly how do i do this stuff???

[djcsr]

@axemurderah17 have you ever seen any useful information in an "expert village" video? No, me neither.

[atl127]

sr form duz not exist... i just went there to download a form.. what now????

please advize..

[datstudrapper]

You can't download the forms from the site anymore, you'll have to click the "Upon Request" link to have them mail you one. Or you can use their electronic office to do it online. When you copyright them online it's $10 cheaper than mailing it, and the process is faster. Hope this helps!

[flokid11]

is copyrighting a one off payment? or so you have to pay for every track?

[THE7thHAND]

So how do I copyright my tracks?

[12ealDeal]

Exactly! That was the reason I watched the video, and yet this question was not answered.

[TeeFlick]
