Indie Label Signing Practices OR Oral Contracts Are Bad But Oral Sex Is Still OK

pilsner:
Wasn't meant to be condescending, and I apologize if that was the impression.  Nancy apologizes as well.

Also, to clarify, the unwritten copyright is "official" in every way.  Registering the copyright does cost money, usually, but it's a nominal amount.  For instance, online registration of a basic claim in an original work of authorship is $35 in the States.  I need to stress that that registering the copyright only makes it easier to sue if someone rips you off.  It does not confer any new rights that you did not already have.

Where the writing becomes important is when you are transferring the copyright to another person.  Or, really, making any arrangements with others about how the income derived from exploitation of the musical works will be shared.

She's always so polite.

I love that fairy.
