FAQs Related To Reproduction & Copyright Topics

Question: How do I obtain a license to use copyrighted music?

Answer: First, gather as much information as you can about the music you are interested in: exact song title, songwriter, music publisher, and performing rights organization. Second, contact the appropriate performing rights organization to get the name, address and phone number of the publisher who controls the copyright. Thirdly, contact the publisher.



Question: How long does the registration process take?

Answer: The time the Copyright Office requires to process an application varies, depending on the amount of material the Office is receiving. If your submission is in order, you may generally expect to receive a certificate of registration within approximately 4 months of submission.

 

Question: Which form should I use to copyright my music?

Answer: It’s actually easier than it looks. The abbreviation after the word form distinguishes the different types. Form SR applies to sound recordings, Form PA applies to performing arts and so on.

Copyrights FAQs

Question: Do I need a license to sample a track?


Answer: "Yes, you must obtain a clearance, or copyright license, for every sample that you use in your recordings. You can get a license from the copyright owner directly and negotiate a fee. Also, because both the composition and the sound recording are used in a sample track, you must obtain two clearances: one from the owner of the copyright in the song, and one from the owner of the rights to the sound recording. Sometimes this may not be the same person or company."
