Does CD Baby register my songs with the U.S. Copyright Office?

No. You are responsible for registering your work with the U.S. Copyright Office.

How to register

You can register directly through copyright.gov. Alternatively, CD Baby has partnered with Cosynd, a service that helps artists:

• Register copyrights for music, video, images, and documents.
• Create and manage contracts with collaborators.

Is registration required for distribution?

No. You do not need a U.S. copyright registration to distribute music through CD Baby.

Why registration may matter

Registration can help document ownership and may affect the remedies available in an infringement dispute. The timing and legal effect depend on your circumstances.
