So you've made your music and it sounds great....now what!? Its a question I've asked myself a couple of times. From here its either you do one of two things: Sell your music or use it! You can do this by recording an artist, selling to an artist, sending in a demo to a record label, handing your music over to an influential person in the industry or anything in effect of getting ahead in your craft. What if the person you're depending on STEALS your work? truth is we ALL get screwed at some point or the other. Sometimes its petty and an experience you can forget but other times its up the ass with a grater and no lubrication. So how do you protect yourself?
1)Establish copyright....its actually very easy....no formalities involved(and this applies to everything, not just music) Transfer your work to tangible format, and give it an official date. Make sure it is your work else you are probably breaking copyright law yourself
2)Always find out what the influential person or label is doing with your music, Make it your business to know. if they have a problem with that....
3) If you get screwed, you at least know that your work is good. MAKE something knew and approach your success differently
Goodluck getting out there people
