Yeah. right. Once you finish your album you have to publish it. To publish it, you need a publisher. Who will take the copyright, nearly all of the money, and make you sign yourself in as a slave to their corporation. Then, they will plug your ass and try to squeeze as many money as they can from your past and future creations. Been there, seen it. Unfortunately other option is independent publishers which will make like, 10 copies and.

Fuck copyright. Fuck capitalism.

Knowledge and creativity belong to all mankind.

lol oh god I can just picture the executive meeting where this was pitched..

'You see sir, the kids today, they love the Mangas. And they love saying thing like "laying down tracks" all the time. This is really going to make them feel like we're "rapping" with them."

@jadaty1111 It's automatic when something is recorded in a fixed format (like this post for instance). If you are in the USA, there are certain advantages to copyright registration (the Library of Congress website has details), but it is not essential.

This animation shows what you'll get when you copyright something. It simply sucks. You can keep your mass-produced BS, we'll concentrate on artwork instead.

Who names their kid after copyright?
