WHAT WON'T WORK! - The so-called "poor man's copyright" - mailing a copy of your work to yourself, even by Registered Mail. It won't stand up in Court because the law requires a duly Registered Copyright! You can double bag it, you can notarize it, you can weld it airtight in a steel box, you can have it Postmarked at the Main Gates of Hell - but it won't stand up in Court! And every lawyer who takes your money to 'protect your copyright' damned well knows it!
The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding! There are several International Conventions for protection of copyrights and patents but not a damned one to protect such rights via any Postal Service! The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding! There is only ONE process for quick protection - have a duly notarized copy of the work registered with the County Clerk! It's still not a copyright, but it is an iron clad "date" which does require any Court to take "Judicial Notice!" You still need a duly Registered Copyright, even if you claim copyright under Title E as is the common practice with news reports and features - which permits immediate exposure/use while the report is new and relevant and time to file the paperwork later. The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding! The solid door-welder is a duly Registered Copyright. You can copyright a whole collection, everything you have created, with one copyright at the same time for one price. And you can use recordings, cassettes are fine, if you use the SR form rather than a PA form. Both are free from: Register of Copyrights, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20559 (202) 707 9100 to request forms and information. The forms are easy to fill out - and anyone who reads English can do it. However, like all other jackass government agencies, they are slower than a water leak in hell, and every G-POG-P (God Player On Government Payroll!) who gets their hands on your submission will be lock, stock and barrel bent on building a Monument to their own STUPIDITY, so send your submission by Certified or Registered RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED mail. On the INSIDE of the GREEN RECEIPT CARD be sure to list what you're copyrighting. When you get back the GREEN RECEIPT CARD you can move as though you already have a Copyright, at least with the LEGITIMATE agencies, publishers, producers, etceteras. Be sure to ask for the appropriate forms - they are different for Text Books, Drawings, Maps, Articles, etceteras. The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding! Secure yourself a duly Registered Copyright and you've avoided paying a lawyer and pre-empted any Court or Legal question of true ownership. However, NEVER under any conditions let that original copyright out of your hands! If you have to present it in court, then do so, but until then xeroxes/copies are all anybody else needs! The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding! And don't copyright somebody else's creations unless you really want to go on trial charged with fraud, etceteras. The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding! Other vital Recorded Music Industry information is available at International Industrial Review, a three year research report covering virtually every aspect of Recorded Music and it's many scams. Starting with ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and their United States District Court-approved thieveries! |
