If you copyright 10 songs as a collection are they all protected individually - if not why is that bad?

No. That's the downside to getting the collective copyright. Example: If John Doe has a collective copyright on his album John Doe Sings the Blues and Track 2 on the album "Anonymous Blues" is licensed, all the other tracks on the album are licensed with "Anonymous Blues". Answer 2 Presumably you wrote them then the answer is - Yes. If you only recorded them and published said recording with permission, then you hold copyright in said recording only. Copyright protection is an automatic right under international law, but evidence may be required to support your claim in the event of a dispute, so ensure copyright protection for your work by using a copyright registration service. The automatic copyright in the sound recording will run for 50 years from the year of recording, or 50 years from date of release if released in that time. Actual duration may vary slightly from one country to another depending on national laws.

If you copyright 10 songs as a collection, they are not individually protected. This means that if someone were to use one of the songs from the collection without permission, you would have to prove that the entire collection was copied rather than just the individual song. This can be problematic as it requires more evidence and potentially makes the legal process more complicated.
