Protecting and publishing your songs
In many countries copyright is automatic, meaning that once a song is written down or recorded, your rights are protected by law. You do not need to register your work with any kind of authority. However, if there is a chance your songs will be used by others, it may be wise to take steps to prove your ownership. In time you may wish to sign with a publisher, who will administer your rights for you, and may help to promote your songs. CCLI partners with more than 3,500 publishers, connecting the catalogues they represent with churches throughout the world.
