Like most success stories, the popularity of SongRegistration.com can be traced to the Golden Rule of Business: Find a solution to a common problem.

The problem? An easy way to protect songs.

Why was it common? Because it affects virtually every songwriter on the planet.

It all started years ago when a young lawyer asked some friends in a band how they safeguarded their songs. Their answer was typical: They just shrugged. "We don't worry about it." They had no money for lawyers and no patience for dealing with copyright issues. So they just wrote songs and played them. End of story. "All good, no worries." Well, not exactly.

A few years later, the lawyer got a phone call from one of the band members. "Hey, someone stole our song." And so it began.

The lawyer did his best to help. But by then, the expenses were too much, the legal evidence too little, and pretty much everything else too late.

But it did get the lawyer thinking. How could such a common problem, one affecting millions of composers every day, have no simple solution? Wasn't there an easier way for songwriters to document their copyrights?

Unfortunately, after more checking the short answer was no. Not a single trustworthy service existed that offered songwriters an easy way to protect their songs. All he could find were those same two not-so-great choices: Hire a lawyer ? which most songwriters couldn't afford. Or do the Copyright Office paperwork yourself ? which was way too much hassle for most songwriters.

His "Aha" moment came when he realized what was needed: A user-friendly business model that songwriters could ? and would ? actually use!

And SongRegistration.com was born.

Since then, it has grown into the World Leader in independent music registration, helping tens of thousands of songwriters - from more than 55 countries - protect their work. Quickly, easily, inexpensively.

Sure, a few copy-cat companies have come and gone. But none with the reputation, the worldwide endorsements, the A+ business rating, and the ease and affordability of SongRegistration!
