My list is mostly Americana, alt country, some reworked classics and originals. Not stuff a lot of people would want to play.

2. That

I'm pretty sure he can not keep you from playing any of the songs you co-wrote, and in fact, if you recorded them and released the CD or made downloads available, he can't keep anyone from playing them or from recording them as long as the writers are paid a mechanical royalty. You're worried about nothing.

Yes the vid has been done by a mobile phone...so the quality is really bad...

Then why on God's green earth put it up for other people to hear? It's like a carpenter who builds a house that's falling down and asking other builders to critique it.

 

If you really want honest criticism, put up some decent recordings so guys here can constructively help you. I won't cap on you because you're young and I admire your willingness to get in the game and ask others what they think. Just give them something to work with.

 

Consider this one of your first lessons in the music biz!

You can't copyright 'guitar riffs'. You can copyright lyrics and melody. You can also copyright a recording itself.

Totally false. What's to stop anyone from mailing unsealed envelopes to themselves and then putting whatever they want in them after the fact?

"I am NOT A LAWYER and have no basis to give you legal advice from this website that you can deem safe to use in a court of law."



Aside from this, the website link you posted is giving you all the reasons why a poor man's copyright WILL NOT work and CAN BE faked.

"Poor Man' s copyright" should be called "fool's copyright", since only a fool would put the rights to their work in such a dubious idea.

You mean should you register? Your work is already copyrighted the minute it's put on tape.
Before or after mastering makes no difference unless you are radically altering the recording in some way, since mastering doesn't change the content of the recording.

+ 10!

I've always gotten good products and great service from them and stuff shipped out quickly when I needed it.


(now, about that 23% interest rate... )

always buy your guitars online, from a private seller, and believe every word he says about it.
