In the fast-paced digital world, safeguarding your original music has become more essential than ever. Whether you’re a composer, songwriter, or music producer, ensuring proper protection through music copyright registration is the key to preserving your creative and commercial rights. At AMD LAW INDIA, we assist creators across India and globally in navigating the formalities to register your music copyright with confidence.
The copyright registration of musical compositions grants you exclusive rights over your song or instrumental, including reproduction, distribution, performance, and licensing. While copyright exists automatically upon creation, registration legally validates your ownership, making it easier to enforce your rights in court in the event of infringement.
Your music may include several components that are individually protected under Indian copyright law:
1. Lyrics – As literary work
2. Musical composition – As a musical work
3. Sound recording – As a separate category
Through a proper music copyright application, you can ensure each element is distinctly protected.
At AMD LAW INDIA, we streamline the process to register music copyright in India through the following steps:
Gather all necessary details including title, author/composer information, and nature of the work. If it’s a song copyright registration, include lyrics, composition notes, and any demo recordings.
We file your music copyright application online through the official e-filing system with the Copyright Office of India.
Once your application is filed, a Diary Number is issued. The work remains in the public domain for 30 days to allow for any objections.
If no objections are received, or they are resolved, the Copyright Office registers your music and issues the certificate.
Unregistered music can be vulnerable to theft and misuse. If someone uses your music without authorisation, you may not have strong legal ground to claim damages unless the music copyright registration is in place.
Infringement can attract:
1. Monetary fines
2. Injunctions against use
3. Criminal liability in severe cases
We help you issue a copyright infringement takedown notice to streaming platforms, YouTube, or other websites hosting pirated versions of your work. Our legal team ensures that you exercise your rights professionally and effectively.
1. Specialised in copyright registration of musical compositions
2. Assistance with complete documentation and error-free filing
3. Legal support for infringement disputes and takedowns
4. Transparent pricing and dedicated guidance
Whether you’re looking to register your music copyright for an independent release or a commercial project, we’re here to help.
