If you are a singer-songwriter, have you copyrighted your songs? Do you know how to copyright your original music and songs? What happens when you sample from another artist alive or dead? Who do you pay and how do you get permission? The road to musical fame is paved with the stories of major artists who have filed for bankruptcy or lost their songs due to unscrupulous management or labels.
