Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

trademarking
on: May 07, 2008, 12:22:35 AM
ok- I can't read sheet music, but I compose.  :-\ I preform my music often and really enjoy it.  :) But I don't want someone stealing my compositions, and I would like to find out where and how I can trademark, or whatever you would call it, so that my name will be attached to the song. Do I need to write it down? (I can't do this either...) I am trying to learn how to read sheet music, but I am amazingly busy. If anyone can help, it would really mean a lot to me!  :-*       ;)

Copyright.  Trademarks are for symbols.

copyrightoffice.gov  or something like that.  You have to pay $50-150 though.

Yeah, it has to be written or recorded.  Captured some how.
