Under international law, copyright is the automatic right of the creator of the work, this means that copyright exist as soon as you have a tangible version of the music, such as sheet music and/or CDs.

Registering the copyright of your work makes it easier to be compensated in court if your copyright is infringed.

# Get the proper forms. The form needed for a sound recording to copyright is the Form SR and possibly Form CON. The form for Performing Arts, such as what people listen to on the radio, from Cd's, and live, is the Form PA or Short Form PA, and possibly Form CON. These copyright forms can be requested at (202) 707-3000, requested through mail at US Copyright Office Library of Congress Washington D.C. 20559, or found on the internet. # Fill out the forms. Read the instructions carefully and fill it out exactly how explained. # Send it to Library of Congress, Copyright Office, Independence Avenue, S.E., Washington, D.C. 20559-6000 # Include a $45 and a non-returnable copy of the music. # If your submission was filled out right, you will get a certificate of registration in the next 4-5 months.
