Hi Gang,
My 6 year old wrote a song that is being recorded and released by my band.
Since he's a minor child, does he use the usual forms from The Copywrite Office? Or do they have separate forms for kids that I should ask for? (He can print his first and last name in order to 'sign' the forms.)

I don't know what country you are in, but if he is not an adult then there will most defintely be extra measures that will have to be taken to protect his work. It also depends on what the song is being used for (will it be on radio/TV?) because there will have to be an arrangement to pay him his royalties. If you were in Australia then most of this would go through APRA www.apra.com.au but yeah I'm not sure what would happen in your specific case... hope I gave you a few ideas and things to consider though... |

You don't need or want to spend money on a Lawyer doing what is simply filing a form which can be printed from downloading an online PDF file, filling it out and sending it to the address listed for the copyright office Library of Congress. I think it costs about $30 now and the form is called the SR form. You as an adult fill the form on behalf of the child and there is boxes and lines for representatives of the actual writer of the music your copyrighting. The web site you need is at: www.copyright.gov/forms/scroll down to SR forms and download and print and get the mailing adress and cost from the site. You can send as many songs as you can fit on a cd or tape. Lawyers charge 200-300 to do what only costs you about $30 - - - - www.soundclick.com/bands/0/stilonovomusic.htm |
