Day 60: Assignment: Copyright One of Your Songs

Welcome to Day 60! Today’s lesson is all about action. You’ve learned the theory—now it’s time to apply it by copyrighting one of your original compositions.

Lesson
The copyright registration process might seem like a small administrative task, but it’s a powerful step in protecting your music. By completing this assignment, you’re solidifying your rights and taking control of your catalog.

Remember, your copyright doesn’t just safeguard your work from misuse; it also enhances its value when negotiating sync licensing deals. Music supervisors and production companies appreciate knowing that the rights are clearly established.

Assignment
Choose one of your songs and complete the copyright registration process. Follow the steps outlined earlier this week, and don’t hesitate to reach out to the U.S. Copyright Office for support if needed. Document this experience—it’s an investment in your future.

This concludes today’s lesson. Next, we’ll explore the legal landscape of music licensing in greater depth.
