How do I copyright my work?
Copyright is inherent upon the creation of a musical work, but there is actually only one way to officially “copyright” your works in Canada, and that’s through CIPO (Canadian Intellectual Property Office). Sending a copy to yourself is not “copyrighting” your works, but helps establish the date you claim the song came into existence.
In 2015 year-end “Best-Of” lists, SOCAN member Grimes was in the top three in Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Billboard, and The New York Times, among others. A fiercely independent artist, Grimes has achieved such success without compromise. She writes, records and produces all of her own music, which ranges from the sweetest radio pop, to industrial bombast, to cranking electro beats. She designs her own album art, directs her own videos, and has created her own perfume. Equally at home at Comic-Con or on a modelling runway, this DIY renaissance woman has become the patron saint of millennials worldwide.
