Music Industry Discussion

The copyright office should make it as easy and cheap to copyright original material as it is to steal it. A dollar to upload and copyright a single photo or song is not unreasonable, expecting a musician to pay thirty five dollars to copyright a single song, is. Waiting to compile a catalogue of songs to copyright them all at once, is asking someone to steal your music.

Email the U.S. Copyright Office urging them to offer reasonable rates to up load and copyright single songs and poems. In the age of cell phones and mp3 recorders, nearly ubiquitous means of copying materials played or sung aloud, it is imperative that poets, musicians and song writers have an almost instantaneous method to copyright their works. Music pirates and parasites are everywhere, anyone who writes knows this, and we all need to be able to upload and copyright a song as soon as it is written to maintain our rights to those lyrics and music.

Write the copyright office and your congressmen and women and demand that the U.S. Copyright Office allow musicians and other artists to be able to setup secure individual accounts whereby we can be charged a given fee for an account and then up load works individually, for say a dollar, until our charges are depleted, then we can renew our subscription, to protect our work. Do this and the endless lawsuits to prove ownership of intellectual property will cease.

Amen.
The Library of Congress seems to be making it as hard for us as they possibly can.

Those smug gvt. bureaucrats don't see any need to change anything, as long as they get their paychecks.
To them - musicians are just annoying mosquitos . . .

You can 'speed up' the copyright process to within 30 days - by paying them and EXTRA $850 per song!
Gee, THANKS, Library of Congress . . . (Assho**s) . . .

It'd be nice to have some kind of home page or something for a protest or a petition or something - like a list of email addresses we can write or something . . .
