How do I get a song published? I wrote a song and would like to have it copyrighted.?

Answer 1

I also am a songwriter/musician and have 60-80 songs copyrighted, all you have to do is to copy your song, place it in a menilla envelope, take it to the post office, register it. Address it back to yourself. (Don't open it or it becomes void.) The main thing is to get this done, everything will be dated. You can also use an attorney.

Answer 2

There isn't any unfastened method, To implement a copyright (In the U.S) pass to a federal courtroom, it ought to first be registered, as evidence of possession, and a replica deposited with the Library of Congress. Copyrights registered early do have the improvement of detailed statutory fines, if an infringement is demonstrated.

Answer 3

I'm a song writer/musician. At my local guitar store, they have the proper copyright forms available. It does cost money to have them sent in. A cheap option is "the poor man's copyright", and it will hold up in court. All you really need to do is make a copy of your song, send it in the mail to yourself, and do not open it. The only time you will need to open it will be in court in the unlikely event that you are suing for plagiarism.
As far as publishing, you need to try and sell it to a band or recording artist, or do it yourself. I created a record label for the purpose of distributing my music. Good luck to you.
Here's some of my work, hope you enjoy:

Answer 4

You don't have to register with the copyright office. Your song is automatically copyrighted the moment it came into existence on paper.
