Songrite Copyright office

Copyright Office - Global Registrations!

Songwriters and lyricists who register their works are issued with a unique Copyright Certificate which details the author, the titles of songs, music and lyrics. In addition an Author's Secure Storage Contract is included which adds a further layer of supportive evidence to the registered works. Both documents display the unique seal of The Global Copyright Office and provide solid evidence of copyright ownership as from the date of registration exhibited on the registration documents.

Having solid proof of copyright ownership of a particular song, lyric or piece of music is regarded as crucial evidence should you ever need to challenge an infringement, confront acts of plagiarism or contest other copyright related issues or disputes. Without evidence of copyright ownership you will have no little or no opportunity to seek redress.

It is vitally important to obtain proof of copyright ownership prior to airing or exposing your songs, music or lyrics to the public. The Global Copyright Office fully authenticates the rights of registered claimants as from the date of registration which each copyright certificate clearly displays

All deposited songs and lyrics are date stamped and retained in our secure storage facility. A single Song usually contains several copyright categories which cover all aspects of a song; and include the following;

 The Music: 
 The lyrics: 
 The Arrangements: 
 The Production: 
 The Performance: 
 The Artwork: (sleeve or cover)

.

All of these collective copyrights will be included (if appropriate) when registering complete songs, copyright registration documents will include and endorse any additional copyrights ensuring any contributor is rightfully acknowledged and credited for their creative input.  Each song will be accurately documented to reflect any creative involvement or contributions that exist within the making of that song.
