Full Moon in Scorpio and CD Release
We had the chance to “christen” the new CD in the company of valued family and friends. The funny thing about CD release events is that - often - everyone in the room already has a copy of the CD. So, it’s not always about sales or …

Since I’ve been recording music I have registered all my works with the Library of Congress. Recently, however, I’ve been wondering how necessary it is at this point, since the “music industry” has shifted from record companies and CD releases to home studios and myspace accounts.
Considering this shift, I would think that there would have to be some way to protect the artist’s rights in regards to the material they’re uploading onto the net. I know for a fact that sites like SNOCAP (a music store) do something that registers you for national/international copyrights before they sell your tracks - does anyone know if this counts? I also heard that a copyright technically exists the minute the work is created - even if that’s true, it wouldn’t hold up legally against anyone who stole an idea, etc. because there would be no way to prove who created it first.
Eliminating the “official” Library of Congress method would save $$$ (they just raised fees). Anyone have any insight? Thanks!
