•Can I perform my songs live even though they are not registered with the Copyright Office?
•Does the ‘poor man’s copyright’ protect me?
•When should I register my songs with the Copyright Office?
•What should I look for in a single song publishing contract? What should I avoid?
•When do I need an agreement with my co-writer(s)? What does that look like?
•An artist wants to record one of my songs. What do I do to make sure I get my royalties?
• What legal document do I need to license my music to a movie or TV? What does that look like?
•Should I have my own publishing company? If so, how do I set one up?
•And much more!
