Q. I would like to use copyrighted music in a one-time online conference presentation. How may I do that legally?

February 17, 2011

A: The easiest, cheapest, and best way would be to ask the copyright holder for permission. However, they may not respond, or ask an exorbitant amount of money. But, you could always make your own music to use...

This is not legal advice, please do not treat it as such. Make sure to contact a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction for a legal issue, before it is a legal problem!

Q. How do i copyright my music?

February 17, 2011

A: In order to have a copyright for your music, you would look to 17 USC 102, of the Copyright Code, and it would have to be:

1. Creative

2. Original

3. Fixed in a tangible medium

Creative means it must have some "creativity", which is a low requirement.

Original means it must be your own work.

Fixed in a tangible medium is the easiest concept here to explain. Your copyright, or music in this case, must be preserved recorded or otherwise stored. It can be on a hard drive, usb drive, ipod, zune, minidisc, memory card or etc.

In short, your original, creative music that is somehow recorded IS copywritten!

Registration of your copyright is not required, as it has not required since 1976. You would need to register your copyright in order to file suit against an infringer, and to have other legal rights. So, it is definitely a good idea.

This does not constitute legal advice, please do not be foolish enough to take legal advice from the internet. Go consult with a qualified attorney for your legal issues, before it turns into a legal problem. ... Read More
