What if Your Songs Are “Better” Than the Ones on the Radio?

Posted in News on April 24, 2017 by Jason Blume “My songs are better than the ones on the radio.” I recall when, as an aspiring songwriter, nothing could have convinced me otherwise.

Poor Man’s Copyright is No Substitute for the Real Thing

My songwriting students often ask about the viability and legality of the “poor man’s copyright.” This refers to mailing a copy of your song and/or lyric to yourself via registered mail, with the belief that if the song’s ownership were ever contested, producing the unopened envelope would be evidence that you had claimed ownership of the work on the date of the postmark.

While it sounds like a convincing plan that would persuade a judge and jury, many attorneys believe the poor man’s copyright is not worth the price of the stamp. This is because only copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office provides a public record of an author’s claim of ownership, as well as benefits, including the following:
