Members sprattpunk Posted March 21, 2003 Members Share Posted March 21, 2003 My band is putting out our own EP and I am wondering what I need to put on the back to protect our music. I have "all rights reserved" as well as who produced it and where. Should put sometype of copyright? If so what's the button for the "c" with the circle around it? thanks.

Members jaeger82 Posted March 21, 2003 Members Share Posted March 21, 2003 Before you do anything stupid go here... http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ Depending on what you do, you can "legaly" CR the whole disc as a compilation for like 15$... Takes about 8 months to get it finalized... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scubyfan Posted March 21, 2003 Members Share Posted March 21, 2003 i'm assuming he did that look behind one of your favorite cd's - what does it say? © 2003 Pink Floyd Music Ltd. or something like this when you copyright, it would be under that name i assume, assuming you do it under your band name so © 2003 My Band Name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members el_virto Posted March 22, 2003 Members Share Posted March 22, 2003 no, ® is only for registered TRADEMARKS...has nothing to do with copyrights as was said before, your work is protected as of creation, all the registration options etc, are just to help PROVE you created it first in case of dispute on the back of the cd i would put "all music + lyrics © 2003 bandname, All Rights reserved"(p) "album title" 2003 record company (or band, for the sound recording copyright) also, make sure you make a note in the liner notes regarding copyright of graphics/artwork etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
