Copyright forms PA and SR

The definitions and terms to register a copyright can get quite disruptive so I am going to briefly explain the difference betwixt Class PA (Performing Arts) and Form SR (Sound Recording). Okay, if y'all are registering a musical work,  a dramatic work, a choreographic work or pantomime work then y'all would use Class PA. The United States Copyright Office defines a "musical work" as music and/or lyrics either in printed form or sound class. And so, if y'all are registering ONLY the musical work (such as music and/or lyrics) select Form PA "Works of the Performing Arts". Musical compositions and Sound recordings are considered two separate works for copyright purposes.

A recording of a particular recording of a vocal is a "sound recording".  If you are registering ONLY the "audio recording" then select Grade SR "Sound Recording".

Utilize for Both Forms

An Artist tin can apply for both Form PA & Form SR with 1 copyright application

If yous are registering BOTH the musical piece of work AND the recorded operation of that piece of work, select "Sound Recording". A note of caution, a musical work (such as music and/or lyrics) and the recorded performance of that work may be REGISTERED TOGETHER ONLY IF (1) the author(s) named in the application contributed to both works, or (2) the copyright claimant owns all rights in both works through a written transfer of copyright.

Examples:

• When an artist performs and records a composition owned past someone else, the artist or artist's label (if appropriate) would submit an application for the recording only. For specific guidance, see Copyright Registration of Sound Recordings (Round 56).
• When a songwriter creates a composition that someone else records, the songwriter or songwriter's publisher (if advisable) would submit an application for the musical composition but. For specific guidance, see Copyright Registration of Musical Compositions (Circular 50).
• When a songwriter performs and records the songwriter's own composition, the songwriter may submit 1 awarding for both the composition and recording.
• When a record company owns both a composition and a recording of that limerick, it may submit i application for both the limerick and recording.
