Could anyone tell me which copyright form should be used for copyrighting songs I right and record? I'm a bit confused between the SR and the PA.

Toker41 said:I want to copyright the song so that the song belongs to me, not so much the recording of the song, but the song itself. I would own the song, and no one could record or use any part of it without my approval. I believe that is the PA form.
Then, I then want to copyright the actual recording of the song so that no one can play, sell or anything else with the actual recording I did without permission. I believe that is the SR form.
Is this correct?

....still confused.
...Which form means I own the song in every way, shape, and form??
Toker41 said:Damn, I would hope that isn't true! If this is the case then what it to stop anyone from just taking the songs I publish on my cd that I do myself in my home? This would mean that when I right a song I would have to decide if I want to put out my own cd or sell the song? It would mean I can't do both.

Yes you are protected. But if you don't register it, or have a way to show proof its your stuff, its your word against theirs.
That's the bottom line. Then its the one with the most money to pay the lawyer wins.
You need to check out the Library of Congress, copyrights.
Good luck. You are making this more difficult than it is. You just have to make a choice on what you are going to do.
