Why copyright registration is a must for every musician.

Do you dream of a career in music? Bright lights, screaming fans, fame and money… But for some reason, many musicians forget about one of the most crucial aspects – copyright registration. It is important for the career and it is the first step to making money on music.

Copyright is an exclusive opportunity to create and distribute copies of your music. But in order to protect and monetize your work, you need to register it first. If you want to perform at concerts and festivals, play DJ sets in clubs, you need a proof of your authorship. Moreover, it will help to avoid other people’s claims and protect your work from plagiarism.

Where you should start.

Copyright does not protect ideas. So, you need to place your creation on some kind of material medium in audio form or in the form of notes.

Go to udiar.net, create an account, fill out the required information and upload your work. You will get an official certificate with legal confirmation of copyright, which is valid in all countries that signed the Berne Convention.​ The legal regulation of copyright in music is carried out in accordance with international conventions and agreements. Now you have a legitimate proof to support your defense in court in the event of a dispute. 

When your work is protected, you can use it as a source of income. If you don’t plan to monetize music, you have the opportunity to publicly announce your work as part of Creative Commons, thereby allowing others to freely use your music.

Musical compositions are one of the most common subjects of violations. The best thing you can do is take care of protecting your works as soon as possible.
