It isn't necessary to take any action for a work to be protected. Copyright protection is automatic, as soon as work of sufficient originality is "fixed in a tangible medium, perceptible to human eye, machine reader or other device".

If you wish to formally register a copyright, contact the copyright office in your country for the proper procedure.

Answer 3

To get copyright protection for your own song, all you need to do is write it down or record it. A work of sufficient originality is automatically protected by copyright as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium.

To get permission to use others' songs, it depends on the use. A performing rights organization will license a performance, the print rights administrator will license an arrangement, the Harry Fox Agency will license recordings, and the publisher of the original work will license use with images.

Answer 4

This question can be interpreted in two ways... You may be asking how can you own the rights to someone else's music which you buy. The short answer is that you can't. When you "buy music" you're really just buying the right to listen to it. You may also be asking how can you own the rights to the music which you have created. Luckily, you already do. Copyright protection applies to any copyrightable material (including music) as soon as you create it. As long as you don't plan on getting into any legal battles over the copyright, it already belongs to you. If you believe that you may need to defend your copyright some day, then you should find a way to document your creation. See the related links section for a solution from the U.S. Copyright Office.

Answer 6

The 'poor man's' copyright is the simple and cheapest way to establish that you were the original writer of the lyrics.

Write the lyrics down on a sheet(s) of paper and then place it/them in an envelope with a postage stamp, address it to yourself, drop the envelope in the mail and when it arrives, do not open it up.

The cancelled postage stamp (with the date it was processed) is your proof that the lyrics (or other written material) was written/produced on a certain date (verified by the cancellation stamp from the government post office).

If anyone else were to steal your lyrics (or other work) you have a verifiable piece of evidence that can be submitted in a court case, should you need to take anyone to court for stealing your lyrics/work.

You can also spend much more money on professional copyright services that are available from various governmental or private entities.

No action is required for copyright protection; works of sufficient originality are automatically protected as soon as they are fixed (written down or recorded). If formal registration is available in your country, you may choose to do that as well, but it is not required.
