Copyrighting for Songwriters

Comprehensive breakdown of copyrighting terms & applications

Do you write your own songs? Are you publishing those songs (aka releasing them to the public)? Looking to license your music to a commercial, TV show, or film? You MUST copyright your work with the US Copyright Office to be fully protected under the law.

The course walks you through a copyright application - start to finish - including the terms you need to know, the number of songs you can include on one application, the rights an official filing affords you, and how to complete the online application in less than 10 minutes. It includes an explanation of the structure of copyrights, broken down into digestible video lessons, complete with supplemental guides, charts, and worksheets for you to reference so you continue to feel supported long after this course is over.

This course is for you if you are a musician, or manager, looking to save money, save time, and save peace of mind when licensing your music to others knowing that it's properly protected.
