Copyrighting your works



I've had artist ask me about copyrighting their work and I found this on YouTube and I think it's a great tool for learning the basics about copyright.  Fortunately there are so many video's on YouTube that you can use to learn about copyright so by all means don't stop here because this is free information.  Hello!

Working on a new song.

     I just got a new track from my boy Big Ced and it's got a west-coast vibe.  I'm so feeling this track right now.  It's smooth and sultry.  I so love that.  I can almost see someone playing the keyboard and guitar.  You know like back in the day; jammin!  I really miss live instruments but I think technology is hella good.  Damn!
     I have no idea where I'm going to take the track but it's going to be so much fun writing to this joint.  I'm going to rock this in a big way at the club.  I have to stop myself from taking over and just write one verse and the hook.  I can get a bit carried away.  When I'm in a project I just go where the project takes me and I stop when I feel it's done.  When I'm creating it's like I'm making love.  I stop when I'm satisfied.  I'm so laughing out loud right now.  I love making music.  I wish that relationships were as easy but that's another story.
     Big Ced and I are almost finished with our single "Never Enough" (our first collaboration together but definitely not our last) and hopefully it'll be done by next week.  I really can't wait for you guys to hear the song and let me know what you think.  I'm excited because my music is really coming together.  I have a ton of lyrics that I need music for and hopefully I can get that; eventually.
    Until next time, welcome to my world so very thrilled to be a part of your and as always I'm Lady PJ.

Thinking Of My Own Office

     Wow! I have a lot going on professional wise.  I'm teaching myself videography and photography.  I didn't think I would enjoy it so much.  I think I like taking pictures more than the editing part but all and all the learning is very exciting for me.  This is a whole new chapter in my life; I'm excited about what's coming next.  I've got to add a new webpage to advertise these new services.  I want to do some small productions and blast them on my site.  I think it's a wonderful opportunity for me to work with the younger crowd in my area and do the things that I love.  I really think I need this.
     Marcus and I went looking at an office last week and I'm really considering just doing it.  I love being my own boss.  I hate working for someone else and not having the complete control over my life.  I just feel like I work hard and I should be paid what I'm worth; so being my own boss is just a natural step.  I just don't know where to put Marcus.  He's a good friend and he's very loyal but he really doesn't have any skills right now.  I'm thinking that I can train him myself but I have to figure out how to get him the equipment he needs to do the job.
    I always think that I can do it all myself but I don't know if I can.  I know that I'm going to have to ask my friends for help and I'm not really good with that.  Unless I find a way to do it myself.  Anythings possible, right?

Exclusive Rights to a beat/track

What does "exclusive rights" mean?


  • This gives the music artist sole ownership of the beat, and unlimited use of it as well. The producer cannot sell this beat/track to anybody else and must take it down from any selling sites. Make sure that all copyrights to the beat are properly transfered to you and all usage restrictions are lifted. This allows you to use the beat in any way you see fit. You should be given a signed "transfer of ownership" agreement from the producer or beatmaker.
