Song & Lyric Copyrights

Copyright actually exists the very moment an original song, lyrical work or piece of music is created and fixed in a tangible and accessible form or media such as it being recorded or written down. However, should that work become subject to a dispute or be infringed upon, proof of copyright ownership is not only essential it is also a legal requirement in a court of law. 

An official Songrite - CR3 - Copyright Certificate will provide you with the necessary proof of ownership as from the date of registration.
CR3- Certificates are valid for the lifetime of the composer plus at least an additional fifty years.

Securing proof of copyright ownership is your responsibility.

Do I Need To Register my work?

Under Copyright Law, the Songwriter and / or Composer has certain rights including the exclusive right to gain economic reward for their creative efforts. These rights are granted by default the moment the songs, music or lyrics are written down or recorded. By registering your work you will help establish and endorse these rights with immediate effect from the date of registration. (specified on the issued Copyright Certificate).

Do it Yourself Copyright Protection:

The practice of sending a copy of your own work to yourself in a sealed envelope or package is often referred to as “poor man’s copyright.” This "do it yourself" method of "copyrighting" is simple to by-pass and defraud which renders it totally unreliable and unacceptable as proof of ownership in a court of law.

There is no provision in the text of international copyright law that recognises “poor man’s copyright” as a viable alternative to registration.

Placing trust in “poor man’s copyright” to protect your work is not only misguided but foolhardy and will surely result in your loss and disappointment if ever put to the test.
