Dated evidence for your music and lyrics
All inclusive – No subscription
Music: your passion or your profession?
In the world of creators and performers, whether famous or aspiring artists, theft is commonly known by different names: it is sometimes refered as « plagiarism », « intellectual theft », « artistic theft », « copying », or « infringement ». The purpose is always the same: to usurp the work of others to make a name for oneself.
Moreover, it can affect not only the melody of the music but also the edits, broadcasts and even the lyrics!
There is nothing more rewarding than creating a song and being prepared to publish it, under your name or pseudonym, of course, so that everyone hears it and associates it with your artistic personality. On the other hand, there is nothing worse when someone else takes credit for it instead of you.
In a highly creative and competitive artistic environment, it is important for musicians, even amateurs, to plan to establish the proof of their anteriority on their musical creation. This will limit the risk of unauthorised exploitation by a third party.
Copyright for Music. Protecting a song or music has never been easier.
How to protect your songs, texts, and scores as effectively as possible?
Copyright generally protects original works without registration when the legal requirements are met. Retaining dated evidence can help you document the existence and content of your compositions, recordings and lyrics before sharing or publishing it.
Upload the relevant files to Copyright.eu to obtain a dated certificate. You may document successive versions with the additional-deposit features available for Standard and Certified offers. The deposit does not itself decide ownership or resolve a dispute.
