Music Copyright Laws?

Music Copyright Laws Protect Intellectual PropertyArtistic creations come from a place deep in the mind of the creator. Musical compositions may only take an hour or two to write, but they may take years to reach the public in the form of music and lyrics. Composers own their own creations, but when they choose to share them with the general public their intellectual property should have copyright protection.Intellectual property in musical terms means the structure of the idea or words not the words or ideas themselves. The musician can’t copyright the notes in a song or the actual words, but the arrangement of those words and ideas can be copyrighted.The significance of music copyright laws is the duration of “the musical monopoly” created by this legal document. No one can play a recording of that composition in public, reproduce those lyrics or music for profit, or perform them in public places unless the lyricist or musician gives them written permission.A musical composition is basically protected by copyright laws the moment it’s created. The creation doesn’t need a copyright notice and it doesn’t have to be published, but if someone decided to make a copy and sell it for profit the owner will have a difficult time fighting to protect the rights granted under copyright protection. Most lyricists and musicians register their work with the copyright office in order to effectively enforce copyright ownership and collect royalties if the composition is used commercially.Time is a Factor in Music Copyright LawsComposers and lyricists are granted exclusive rights in the US for a specific period of time. The time frame for protection is based on the date of the creation. Here’s how time is measured in music copyright law:Musical compositions created after January 1, 1978 are protected for the life of the composer plus seventy years.Compositions registered before January 1, 1978 are protected for ninety-five years from the date of the registration.Compositions registered before January 1, 1923 are protected for seventy-five years, but protection could continue under derivative work protection.A copyright can expire or a lyricist or composer can renounce rights to the song during his lifetime or after death. To determine if a song is available for use without infringement issues it’s necessary to check the copyright date which is usually on the title page or the first page of the work.
