An Overview – Copyright Music

  • When you have a catchy melody and words that perfectly capture a situation, you can’t wait to put them together in a song. As soon as you finish something, you want to broadcast it to the world. Hold on, and before you do anything else, ask yourself, ‘Do you need to copyright song?’
  • The simple answer is no, you do not. You have the legal right to make copies of your song once you have written the lyrics and recorded it. As soon as you record your song, you own the rights to it. However, there is a catch: rights are not unqualified. There is no way to prove that you wrote that song, even with a recording.

When this happens, copyright registration can help. By registering your song’s copyright, you can:

  • Play that song anywhere, anytime
  • Make money by making copies of that song and selling them
  • Get paid if someone else uses that song.

Copyright Protection

  • Copyright protection is a legal right that gives the owner of an original work exclusive rights to its use and distribution. In the context of music, copyright protection applies to both the musical composition (the melody, harmony, and lyrics) and the sound recording (the performance of the composition).

Benefits of Copyrighting Your Music

  • Copyright music registration protects authors from financial loss. Copyright protection prevents losses from duplicated works. Piracy is copyright infringement. All Indians know the term. Most major cities sell ‘pirated’ books, DVDs, and music videos. These shoddy books cause publishers and authors huge losses. Peer-to-peer networks illegally share movies and software
  • Copyright registration provides legal protections. Registered works are protected. Without registration, proving ownership in court is difficult. A filmmaker may remake an earlier film. Without copyright registration, proving plagiarism in court is difficult. Creator must show authenticity
  • Copyright registration deters others from using your work without permission. Send a ‘cease and desist’ notice if someone copies your work. So you can avoid legal issues later. Time and money are saved
  • Copyright law encourages creativity and innovation. IT companies can spend millions on new software. Copyright law ensures it can profit from its efforts. Music companies can create new music without fear of piracy
  • Copyright registration protects creators/authors’ reputations by protecting original work. A composer or author can prevent shoddy copies of their work, preventing reputation loss
  • Copyright protection music gives the holder the prestige of owning a work.

Types of Copyright Music

There are two main types of copyrighted music:

  • Musical composition: This is the underlying song, which includes the melody, harmony, and lyrics. The copyright in a musical composition gives the owner the exclusive right to reproduce the work, distribute copies of the work, create derivative works based on the work, and perform the work publicly.
  • Sound recording: This is the actual recording of a musical performance. The copyright in a sound recording gives the owner the exclusive right to reproduce the recording, distribute copies of the recording, and publicly perform the recording.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Fair use does not automatically take away music’s copy protection. The owner of the copyright can still go after you for stealing, and it will be up to you to prove in court that your use is fair.
If you get permission from the person, people, or company who owns the rights, you can legally use music in videos. Most of the time, the publisher and the record label own the rights to a song, so you’ll need permission from both. You’ll get a synchronisation license from the publisher or composer (or sync license).
With music copyright, producers are the only ones who can legally own musical works and recordings. This property gives the copyright owner the exclusive right to distribute and copy the work, as well as the license right that lets the copyright owner get royalties. Copyright for music comes in two forms: master and composition.
Yes, you can. The Copyright Act lets people space shift legal (not pirated) music recordings for their use. This means it is legal to copy a CD you own onto your iPod or MP3 player or make a compilation CD from CDs you own to listen to in the car, for example.
If you use copyrighted music that has been registered in the Content ID system, the owner of the copyright may: Mute your video (video is still available but no audio) Block your video (worst case – this most likely will penalise your channel).
If you get permission from the person, people, or company who owns the rights, you can legally use music in videos. Most of the time, the publisher and the record label own the rights to a song, so you’ll need permission from both. You’ll get a synchronisation license from the publisher or composer (or sync license).
The best way to avoid copyright infringement is to make sure you don’t use anything that was created by someone else. As simple as that.
Copyright violations could make it hard for you to make money. Also, if your active live stream is taken down for copyright reasons, you won’t be able to live stream for 7 days. If you get 3 copyright strikes, your account and any related channels could be closed.
No, not all music is copyright free. Copyright protection applies to any original musical work that is fixed in a tangible medium of expression. This means that even if you create a song yourself, it is still copyrighted unless you explicitly give up your copyright.
