Copyright Registration Office
Introducing a Copyright Registration Service for songwriters, authors and artistic creators who wish to exploit their brainchild while taking positive steps to safeguard and protect their original work from plagiarism and theft. We remind our clients that they alone are legally responsible for proving copyright ownership of any piece of work they create.
Many people believe copyright and intellectual property rights are somehow monitored or policed by the “state”. This is usually untrue. It is entirely in the hands of the copyright / intellectual property rights owners to make sure their interests and rights are protected. The law only provides the necessary apparatus, but it is the copyright owner’s responsibility to use that apparatus. Copyright registration of any piece of original work reinforces proof of copyright ownership.
If you are a songwriter or composer and you intend to sell, publish or distribute your work for artistic recognition or financial gain; then it is extremely important you establish copyright ownership at the earliest opportunity.
We at Songrite, register copyright ownership of all original / creative works; from a single composition to a whole album of up to fourteen songs, for this registration service you pay only one fixed charge. To learn more visit our Prices page
Our service offers a speedy and secure registration system without the inhibitive costs that are normally associated with the copyright registration of single or multiple works.
Registering copyright ownership of your work
The practice of sending a copy of your own work to yourself in a sealed envelope or package is often referred to as a “poor man’s copyright.” There is no provision in the text of international copyright law that recognises this as a reliable alternative to registration. Therefore the process of placing reliance on the “poor man’s copyright” is not a viable substitute for registration.
Copyright registration with Songrite © is a simple and extremely cost effective process. We have two methods for registering the copyright ownership of your work.
- The CR1 Form; This is for registering up to three individually named tracks
- The CR2 Form; This is for registering a whole album of up to 14 tracks
Simply choose which best suits your requirements and complete the appropriate form.
This is a unique copyright registration service that will ensure the original songwriters, creator/s, author/s etc. are accurately accredited as the copyright owners and effectively retain full control of the registered copyright that relates to their creative work.
