    Default How To Copyright Your Music... Answer Lies Here...

    I have seen many topics ova my forum days asking how music can be copywritten... here is the most simple way of getting your music protected...

    1. Copy "master" of track to a SOLID FORMAT i.e CD, Cassette, MD, ADAT or DAT

    2. label the solid format with name, title, date and all relelvant details... Post SOLID FORMAT to yourself by REGISTERED POST

    3. Keep it safe and write ON the envelope relevent details...

    4. DO NOT, I stress DO NOT break the seal of the envelope... DO NOT OPEN !

    5. The envelope can be taken to a bank or solicitors for safe keepings (although this will be pricey)

    And ther u have it... your track is copywritten and protected...

    If u have any further questions please dont hesitate to ask... Peace

    Its COPYRIGHT...

    Not bootleg provention...

    Bootlegging breaches the copyright and patents act 1988...

    Therefore it is illegal...

    It's still not a concrete method of copyrighting, that will stand up in court, I was told by a musical lawyer. It can help a case but don't re-lie on it too much.

    I'm not trying to be be complicated, but as I said do not bank on it, in a musical court of law, it doesn't really stand for jack.

    U were told this by a musical lawyer obviously...

    If i was a musical lawyer and u mentioned to me about doing the copyright method i mentioned above then i sure as HELL would be telling u it isnt reliable because its FREE and therefore i as a "musical lawyer" wouldnt be making any money from you...

    Welcome to the Music Industry my friend

    DJ-Distinction is correct this will help. but also do exaclty wat he said but send your music to yourself via recorded post. there has been many cases one alone just by sending ur track to your house (but remember dont open the package)

    Better than sending it to yourself, send a copy to someone in the legal profession and tell them to leave it sealed.

    LOL... Exatcly what i was thinking mate !!!

    Just trying to help people out because as people will know the Music Industry is partly made up of tw@ts out to rip you off... This is a simple method of covering yourself and your music when sending your tracks out to people... EXAMPLE

    If i sent my track to a DJ/Producer and he sampled a synth sound from it i could get him/her to remove the sample or even make them drop the track... Even if it was in the shops i could get them taken off the shelves or keep them selling and take a cut of the money from sales...

    ONLY IF I COULD PROVE IT WAS ORIGINALLY MY SAMPLE THEY USED !

    which i could becuase i have my track in the envelope

    If anyone has any questions regarding this then please feel free to post up... Or if you think im rambling on about sumat sh!te please make me aware

    ANOTHER SICK EXAMPLE...

    Im sure people are aware of the incident involving HINDZEY D and a certain Roll Deep member who released Hindzeys track under his own name...

    If Hindzey had of done the method of copyright i explained he could of proved the track was originally made by him and of dealt with the situation...

    I think Hindzey D's problem is alot simpler to prove than the copyrighting process. All what the the Roll Deep member has got is the finished article, i.e Wav file or Audio track.

    Hindzey D, should have the arranngement layout, still on his computer, in a program such as Logic, Cubase, Samplitude e.t.c.

    It's just like a maths exam, you just can't have the answer on your paper, you need to show your working out, i.e your arrangement.

    So as long as artist has the arrangement, the label or individual, should not have a leg to stand on, in court.

    sending the master 2 yourself can act as copywrite but in court i would not count on it! it would win a petty sample argument, but anything serious u would b laughed at.

    the best way is 2 pay! or then again if it was that good u would b signed and the label would sort all that lol.

    LOL... This topics getting long...

    SILO the arrangement of the track stands for nothing what so ever... that holds no proof at all that he made the track really... coz i could easily take a track and work out what the arrangement isand build the track in cubase... ther is no proof of what date i did the track is ther ??? i could take pulse x... nik the samples then build the track in cubase and arrange it all out... then come 4ward sayin i made the track... how can i prove i made it b4 musical mob ??? I cant...

    A file on a PC is NOT a Solid Format... cant be copywritten

    Nah, there is no way way anyone can totally remake a track or clone, you might come 50% close, but that's it. I think artists will have a unanamous vote in their favour, if they they have the original arrangemnt.
    I dont think no one can clone Pulse X's simple arrangement, and beat them in court. Once you have have the original arrangement, i'm sure a court of Law, will believe you made the track.

    I don't think my statements are challenging copyright, but the basics of who put the track together. All I know is, if someone released my track, as theirs. I would take them to the cleaners, because I have the 100% arrangement of that track. Can't no recycle or Soundforge help them one bit.

    Does anyone else have any views on this intresting subject ?
