How do you copyright music or beats you make?

Question

i making beats and music, how do i copyright it?

Answer 1

Once you produce any creative work, it is copyrighted as soon as it is "fixed in a tangible medium" -- meaning recorded, written down, etc.

You can (but are not required to) register your copyright with the US copyright office (or the office in your country). This provides additional protections.

But the basic copyright is automatic, unless you take steps to release the work into the public domain.

Answer 2

coragryph is correct. If you wish to register the copyright, the link below is the website of the US Copyright Office. That is a good place to start.
