Day 62: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Welcome to Day 62! Today’s focus is on safeguarding your creations against misuse and infringement. As a creator, your intellectual property is your most valuable asset.
Lesson
Protecting your intellectual property starts with vigilance. Regularly monitor where your music is being used, especially online. Tools like YouTube’s Content ID and platforms like Songtrust can help you track usage and collect revenue.
If you discover unauthorized use of your music, act quickly. Begin with a polite cease-and-desist letter, and escalate to legal action if necessary. The earlier you catch an infringement, the easier it is to resolve.
Assignment
Identify one tool or resource you can use to monitor your music’s use online. Research how to implement it for your catalog. Write down any additional steps you could take to safeguard your music.
This concludes today’s lesson. Tomorrow, we’ll wrap up the week by discussing how to work effectively with an entertainment lawyer.
