Copyright Protection. Can I just upload my songs as they are or do I need to register them with a copyright company?
"Hi, Songbay representatives!
I've been searching for a long time among the lots of internet-resources and it seems that Songbay is just perfect for my purposes. I'm just at the beginning of selling music career and I'm still a bit confused about not-understanding some details. I'm from Ukraine and in my country there is no particular way to prevent the song's rights to be violated so a lot of musicians do not bother themselves with the copyright stuff. I have a number of songs that are written only by me and lot of them have never even been played to anyone. Do I have to state my copyright in some particular way before uploading or should I upload them straight to Songbay and that would be enough? Thanks in advance. I'm waiting for your response. "
