I’m sending in a new collection of songs to the copyright office. I’ve always filled out the form online and then mailed them a physical CD.
I’m considering doing the digital upload instead of sending them a CD, though I feel that a physical CD is a better, safer way to store and archive music.
I upload my tracks to the copyright office –it’s so EZ (although I miss my bike ride to the post office and chatting with the folks on-line).
Here’s what to do if you want to give it a go:
— after you pay the copyright fee (via credit card), you’ll be brought back to a page where you’ll be given the option to upload your files. Upload your MP3s (much faster). You’ll get a confirmation receipt email that they’ve received your files.
I upload also. So much faster and easier. I also like knowing that’s it’s submitted and done – rather than just mailing it and waiting three months for the copyright paper to arrive in the mail.
