D.S. / Singer-SongwriterQuick answers.
1. Do I get paperwork?
Absolutely. Your Registration Affidavit is emailed immediately after you send us your songs. You are also directed to an additional online copy to print or save.
2. Are my songs really copyrighted?
Yes. As long as your material is original, copyright protection attaches by law as soon as it is first put into tangible form. We memorialize those key elements for you. For more info, click here.
3. Are my songs published online?
No. We do not publish your actual songs. The public registry shows key registration data such as composers, titles, dates and registration numbers.
4. Can I register lyrics only?
Yes. Just leave the “music by” box blank on the forms.
5. I am having trouble paying, registering, or uploading.
Check the Help section or contact us.
6. I have one song. How much does that cost?
The $29.95 fee buys one Affidavit, which can hold up to 4 song files submitted together.
7. If I don't renew my annual plan, do my songs stay registered?
Yes. Renewing only affects registering new songs. Songs already registered remain in the archives.
8. Can I register lyrics only?
Yes. Just leave the “music by” box blank on the forms.
