: Hello-
: My boyfriend has just come out of the studio with a fully pressed CD. The CD has 16 tracks on it, none of which are copywrited. My advice to him was not to release that to anyone, or allow anyone to hear it before he has it copywrited. Any info on getting lyrics copywrited is greatly appreciated. We live in Chicago, do copywriting laws differ from state to state?
: Best regards,
: Erica

Dear Erica,

Without taking professional responsibility for what is set forth:

Copyrights are national. Your instincts are good. What is more the CD copyright registration will cover all of the tracks. That means one registration is one $30 Official Fee.
