Music Copyrights
February 1st, 2010 by hlgilesWhen I was first starting out as a local musician, I never thought that it was important to copyright my music. I always assumed that music copyrights were for the big, corporate artists who had signed to major labels. Why would someone small like me require a music copyright? If anything, I wanted my songs to be copied and shared. I wanted people to use them in remixes, to trade them with friends, and to play them anytime they could. This is how small artists grow – by being having their music shared throughout the community. Music copyrights at best do nothing to stem this, and at worse, discourage people from copying CDs.
