We are in the process of making an audio travel CD together with a small booklet of photos in the jewel case.?

Question

This will be a commercial venture and we would like to protect this product. How should we do this - and to whom should we apply for copyright etc.? Also how do we go about getting an ISBN no.?

To clarify, this will be a type of audio book with spoken word - not music

Answer 1

Most Music is copyright the composers and/or performers (the 'classics' may be out of time for composer copyright, but the performance eg. by RSO is still copyright). If you have the original recording, contact the Publisher - otherwise contact the Performing Rights Society.
