Copyright Basics for Music – What Every Artist Needs to Know

As an author of a brand new song, you know how it feels to pour your heart and soul into something beautiful that the world can then enjoy. The only thing is – before you send your new creation off to stardom, you need to ensure that it is well protected by copyright laws. Otherwise the product of your hard work will be vulnerable to piracy, and you may end up losing the rights to its ownership.

Copyrighting is a legal form of protection offered to authors of various intellectual property. When it comes to music, there are a few basics that will help you better understand the process of copyrighting your original works – such as songs and music.

The law is structured so that once you have your song or musical notes down on paper, or recorded on a CD, it actually creates a copyright – as long as you have it in a “tangible” format. The problem arises when someone else has the same song on paper – then you would actually have to prove that you had your copy first! To solve this problem, original works need to be registered with the Library of Congress www.loc.gov, and even then you are not fully protected against claims of authorship for your music

Introducing Independent Artist Eileen Carey

Eileen Carey - Moving OnEileen Carey

It isn’t so rare to find actual talent in the world of music today if you look hard enough. It’s when an independent artist combines multiples genres with their own flair for music that an original, catchy sound comes out.

This is completely the case with indie musicians such as Eileen Carey, a country-pop-blues success story right out of Cleveland, Ohio. Influenced by a variety of artists from Motown to English rock, Eileen is an artist that has put in the hard work and perseverance that is rarely seen in a world of American Idol and computer voice technology. She displays a pure, raw gift with every note that she sings.

With the support of her family, she made her way to the Los Angeles music scene to dabble in a little bit of acting, but mostly put herself out there for fans that seemed to form every time they heard her. Proficient in many instruments, but specifically the male dominated percussion, she moves past modern technology to a more simple time, when either you could play and sing, or you couldn’t. A time when musicians weren’t made- they were born.


 

Currently, Eileen Carey is in Nashville, playing and writing with the big boys. She not only has the talent, but the know-how in music industry concepts such as finance and marketing to push herself to go further. She utilizes economically savvy companies, such as Abet Disc, to replicate her music CDs, with the highest quality as their number one priority. She knew that when she needed her album cover to be replicated by the best, so that everyone would see her creativity and beauty shining through, that a company like Abet Disc could make it happen. It takes smarts for this kind of organization, and Eileen Carey has them.

Her latest album Movin On has already had massive success, starting with the hit single “That Was Her This Is Now”, an awesome tune that every person, male or female, can relate to. Her music has been played on radio stations all over the country, and reviewed all over the world! It’s hard, if not impossible, to find a negative review of her anywhere. The explanation for this should be obvious. She’s good, and you just can’t fake that.

Independent artists are often tossed to the side in the mind of consumers, thinking that money and big-shot manufacturers are the ones to be trusted. Yet, they should remember that fancy lights and someone using a machine to fix a voice can only take them so far. It is the musicians like Eileen Carey that create the backbone of the music scene and inspire us all to listen closer next time, and we may hear something we like.
