  • @CTROCK -what do they mean ( one or two copies of the work? does it mean u only can put two of your song on a cd? when i call they said u can put as much song on the 2 cd.

  • MAIL WITH THE FORM—

    • The filing fee, in the form of a check or money order (no cash) payable to Register of Copyrights, and

    • One or two copies of the work. If the work is unpublished, send one

    copy, tape, or CD. If published, send two copies of the best published

    edition if the work is in printed form, such as sheet music, or one

    copy of the best published edition if the work is recorded on a tape or

    disk.

    Note: Inquire about special requirements for works first published

  • step3 - it said 2 copies of your music on CD? u mean u can put only 2 song on a CD? it did said the same thing on the PA form but when I call and ask them that question both different people told me u can put as much of your music on the 2 CD! thanks

  • they have the long PA form and the short PA form.the long PA form u can fill out the information on-line but the short PA form u can't i try but won't let me fill out on the short PA form on-line why? thanks

  • how many song can u copy on a cd to get copyright? i am useing form PA? thanks

  • does this work in the uk ?

  • i just have lyrics that i wrote,...can i just send lyrics

  • id like to see you try to play even the simplest of beats. drumming is not easy and it is probably one of the more difficult instruments to play. there have actually been studies that show that people who have greater ability in percussion tend to have higher IQ levels (something you probably dont have).

  • do u send the lyrics in after you register online cause in dong it online

  • Great info well detailed, thanks.
