![]() If you don't know them well, or have any reservations it's best to copywrite first I think. If they should ever play it to someone else for an opinion it runs a risk of being ripped off by that person as well. It's not always just the publisher you have to worry about. It's a gamble if you don't copywrite it first. It's not a good way to do business, but some do. I don't bother copywriting them first, but he's been a friend of the family for years. I know a guy in Nashville who has his own publishing company that I occasionally run a song by. That being said it isn't always a necessity. ![]() The safest way to go is to copywrite them first. #753811 - 02/15/23 04:34 PM Re: Do you copyright your songs before showing it to producers? I also think I have to copyright them again, once I'll do the official release? Or is that not the case, if the lyrics/melody haven't really changed?) (I've read it's also much better to copyright songs individually, vs as a group, as it's much more beneficial in case it does every become a legal issue. Just wondering how many on here register their songs before showing them to producers or shopping them around to artists / etc. ![]() I’d probably show it to about 4-5 producers, I don’t really know them, just people near me, or ones that have been recommended through acquaintances, etc. I’ve only composed it with voice and guitar, production is my weak point, so my plan is to record them as solid demos with just guitar and vocals and show them to a few producers near me. I’ve been working on an EP the past year and have 5 songs I feel are solid and ready to be recorded, and then released under my own artist name (will be my first release).
