Does any one know how to go about obtaining info on copyrighting
songs? If so, can you tell were to write to obtain the proper
paperwork, what medium the music must be in and how much all this
costs? Also, does any one know how to obtain info on joining the two
song writer's guilds?
I would appreciate any help and information.
Thanks,
Mark Jensen, Cupertino, California.

| 355.1 | Try the GPO | CIMNET::LEACHE | Mon Oct 05 1987 10:54 | 4 | |
The GPO (Government Printing Office) used to publish 2 different
pamphlets that explained the process of copyrighting music. You'll
have to write them and request a catalog of publications. (Perhaps
your local Post Office will have the address?)

| 355.2 | Try looking in DREGS::MUSIC | COUGAR::JACQUES | Mon Oct 05 1987 11:11 | 3 | |
There is at least 1 or 2 notes about copyright info in DREGS::MUSIC.
Try doing a DIR/TITLE="COPYRIGHT"

No!!!
Do this only if you're prepared to have your terminal tied up for
about 45 minutes.
Do NOT use the DIRECTORY command on MUSIC. Instead use note 2.last,
which always contains a recent directory. Just extract it into
a file or buffer, and then use an editor or search facility to
look for key words like "COPYRIGHT".
You will find that this is about 50 times faster than the directory
command. Plus it doesn't cause valuable network and host machine
resources to get eaten up.
