zedsalt	Date: December 18, 2004 @ 11:04 AM I have two manilla folders full of stuff regarding the Copyright and Royalty Protection Act of 2002 (I THINK I got the name right; I know the initials are CARP...maybe "Copyright Arbitration and Royalty Protection"?). Musicdish would be a good place to read up on the new laws, provided they keep articles in their archives for a while. Their newsletters are a great resource.

Hatsy	Date: October 12, 2005 @ 8:25 PM Does the library of congress only deal with USA copyright, or other countries too, say you have a song played on USA radio, does that mean you need to register with US copyright or does UK still apply, what a minefield this stuff is...

ZsigE	Date: October 13, 2005 @ 10:38 AM Under the Berne Convention (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention_for_the_Protection_of_Literary_and_Artistic_Works) it looks like most countries will honour copyrights registered in other countries. Probably not a good idea to rely on that, though - just register your stuff absolutely everywhere you can!
