In Reply to: Questions on copyrighting. posted by Brannon on August 04, 2001 at 15:06:25:

: Hello,
: I have a couple of questions. I have around 30 or so songs that are only lyrics that I have written. A few years ago, I had an offer from someone to purchase my songs, but I didn't want to sell them..they meant too much to me. Now, I need money, and I think it would be neat to have a singer singing my songs. The guy who wanted to purchase my music told me about the poor-man's copyright, but I'm not sure about it. Can someone tell me what is involved in a poor man's copyright, and if you recommend it? Thanks.

Dear Brannon,

If you have something worth selling why look for a kinky solution, Register your copyright. You may be able to do it yourself for the $30 filing fee.

It might be well to have an Intellectual Propery lawyer you can trust do that and also oversee the agreement you have to protect your rights.
