This was super helpful! I have been putting off copywriting my masters for so long because I didn't know all of the details, but you answered all of my questions and now I can get to work. Thank you !
Hi Ryan, I ran across your Indie Music Channel and am enjoying your content. Your music is terrific! Keep writing, keep performing, keep crushing. Warmest wishes for continued success. -john
O believe it’s the exact same thing, because almost all countries, if not all of them, have intellectual property treaties in a way that you do it in one country and it’s valid everywhere else.
hey man, love your content, am a new musician trying to upload on Distrokid but I don't know my way around the music copyright protection, any knowledge on how to obtain the music copy right license? thanks
Good introduction to the subject. Have been registering Copyrights on various projects for over 20 years. Most recent was our new sound recording of our derivative cover of Alanis Morissette's "Uninvited."
This Video was very Helpful! Thank you for making your videos and providing the links🙏🏾 Yes, I do have copyrights for my songs but I think that I now need to copyright the Master recording. Is that correct?:
Like your video I’m new in copyright Need to ask you if you can explain how to copyright a ministry name? And can I copyright music under the name of the ministry?
I have a question about youtube content id. Is there any service out there which collects, both audio and composition rights? Most distributers only cover the audio part and songtrust for example only covers the composition part. Am i missing something? I actually would love to solely use just one service for it since i have multiple distributors. Otherwise i would need to use songtrust youtube content id, aswell as the distributors service for the content id, but can you even do that?
Ryan, I have used Suno to generate music for my lyrics that I have written. I have then mixed, edited and remixed the finished music that was generated. Can you do a video about how to copyright these songs?
@mandem888 wrote, “Can non US citizens register with the US Copyright Office?” Yes, absolutely! If you’re planning to list, sell, license, share, or further distribute your musical works in the US, on US-selling platform, and/or to US customers, you’re ENCOURAGED to *immediately* register your works with the US Copyright Office.
I like your videos, they are very informative. I am currently working with exclusive and non-exclusive licensed vocals which I turn into songs (I have gathered that the vocal, which contains the melody and lyrics is considered the song). This is almost never covered by people who cover copyright. What am I doing? What should I copyright? Can I only copyright the master recording? Are my songs arrangements? Exclusive contracts make clear the "ownership" rests with the licensee, not just the right to earn royalties. But no doubt the originator of the vocal has already copyrighted the vocal, and.. what if they didnt, how would I know.. does it matter? Am I just making chord progressions? There are chord progressions and there are chord progressions.. one person might just use the same 3 chords that came with the vocal, another may completely reinvent the song spending hours crafting clever progressions with varying sections for verse, prechorus, chorus, bridge etc. creating tension and release in the song. Should I copyright my work as an arrangement? I believe what I do is not simply a meaningless progression of chords, but on the other hand it has meaning only with the vocal, without it it is indeed meaningless. So many questions, and so many videos on the 6 rights that copyright gives you and a total black hole on what people are actually doing these days with vocal licensing. Maybe you could make a video on this subject, and also cover the side issues like not using UA-cam copyright ID on non-exclusive vocal based songs.

Would love to hear your take on International copyright.
