I have friends that recorded an album in South America, and I want to market it in the U.S. what are some of the legal steps that I have to follow?
So people don't sort of "steal" and "abuse" the music created with hard work.
So far investigating I've...
1)Download the publisher application from Ascap or BMI, (I noticed that BMI charges a fee, does ASCAP also?)(which one do you guys prefer)
2)Send the songs to copyright.
Also
***I went through with the Ascap publisher application, and in part # 6 it says:
6. I am applying for membership based on the following musical work or song published by my (our) company:
Title of ONE musical work or song: ________________
Songwriter(s)/ Composer(s):__________________
***OK what does it mean with "ONE" musical work or song, is the application for only one song?
Sorry if the question is irrevelant, I'm new to this and would like to know the aspects of the application before submitting it. I guess a lot of you music peepz have been through this.
Thanks
Do
Is there anything else I'm missing
