just found out a musician heard me reading a poem i wrote and would like to turn it into a song. how do i protect my lyrics and myself, make sure if he's making money off of it, i do, etc... what questions do i ask? thanks!
What do i need to ask if someone wants to use my poem as song lyrics?
so the problem is copyrights are "all rights reserved" which is a turn -off for this musician. the answer "some rights reserved"
no way you say
but in fact now at creativecommons.com you can design custom copyrights that allow limited sharing in your defiinitions. the site is easy to understand, legal, and well respected. additionally it probably has just hte thing you are looking for. acongratulations on the poem thoug! what is it about? can i give it a read? BEST OF LUCK!
Reply:It's called a copyright. Contact the library of congress for the proper forms!
Reply:Write your poem on a postcard and mail it to yourself. The postmark will date your lyrics.
