copyright on Nowhere? Huh!!

[MartyMcFly]

Are my songs that I put up on Nowhere radio copyrighted? I think it says so on the bottom of the nowhere page. Would this ever hold up in court?

[Gidge]

in certain courts, your copyright has to be registered with the copyright office to persue a lawsuit.......

as a side note, the minute you create a piece, it is copyrighted by definition.....it is yours.....registering it is just used as proof.......

Where's my homework, McFly?

A quick way to copywrite something is send it to yourself in the mail. Don't open it. Put it away somewhere safe. It has a postal stamp and its enough to hold up in court.....

I rarely suggest using the search engine, but search the word "copyright" in the songwriters forum

this argument has been beat to death.......

Put all your songs on a CD, fill out the copyright form (Form PA) listing them as a "Collection" or whatever, get a money order for $30 and mail it all to the US copyright office. Website is http://www.loc.gov/copyright/forms/ . That's the ONLY way you'll be covered.

And like Gidge said, this argument has been beat to death. Check out the search engine.
