Songs Copyright

Every song carries two distinct copyrights: the underlying musical work (the composition and lyrics) and the sound recording (the fixed audio). This service protects the first — the composer’s and lyricist’s creative right — which exists independently of any particular recorded version and is the basis for royalties on covers, performances and sync use. We document authorship and any assignment between lyricist, composer and joint authors, register the musical work via Form XIV, and prepare you for royalty collection through copyright societies such as IPRS — so your song earns and is enforceable across every version and platform.
