Use Verisong to Protect Your Songs/Music
POOR MAN COPYRIGHTS WILL NOT PROTECT YOUR SONG
A Poor Man’s Copyright is a common misconception that you can put a CD and/or lyrics in an envelope and mail it to yourself to prove that you own the song on the postmarked date. The courts have never recognized a Poor Man’s Copyright, primarily due to the fact that the original sender could have tampered with the envelope while it was in their possession. VeriSong provides creators with third-party verification of song registration with an automated date-stamp and unique registration number that is issued directly by VeriSong and not the creator.
REGISTERING YOUR SONG WITH VERISONG WILL PROTECT YOU
VeriSong provides producers and songwriters with a quick and inexpensive way to register a claim of ownership in a song. We establish third-party verification of the song’s registration date that can be used as legal evidence in a court of law. A VeriSong registration certificate is also issued for each song immediately at the time of registration with a system-generated date stamp and unique registration number. You should always register your songs with VeriSong prior to submitting them to online contests, record labels, publishers, radio stations, producers, and booking agents.

WHY USE VERISONG INSTEAD OF THE U.S. COPYRIGHT OFFICE?
Registering your song with VeriSong is not a substitute for registering your song with the U.S Copyright Office but it provides you with third-party verification to legally prove your registration date and claim of copyright ownership. There are some benefits to registering your song with the U.S. Copyright Office even though it is more costly and time consuming.

GENERATE SPLIT SHEETS
What are Split Sheets?
Split sheets are written agreements that identify each contributor to a song and establishes ownership percentages between them. The agreed percentages determine how much each contributor will receive from the royalties generated by their music. Split sheets are necessary for every song you write with collaborators. They ensure everyone involved in the creative process is properly credited and paid for the work they contributed to a song.
