mmmmmmmmmmmm... Interesting but heavy, and some of it a bit complicated for my little mind.


Funny it should mention Australia, and the one word change as this is the example i gave earlier... it was an Australian programme my dad's friend's song was allegedly used for and they changed the word flowers to Roses... I was always told it was just one word.


So if I understand that bit correctly, that would be perfectly legal in Australia?

Cheers guys.. You will probably see more of me, I've never been on any type of forum before but this is really interesting.


I was told once whilst doing a scriptwriting course that an easy and cheap way of copywriting scripts etc was to send it to yourself by registered/recorded post. And don't open it, the date will be on the postmark... If you do need to open it because of suspected copying do it in the presence of a police officer...


But songwriters could come up with songs on a more regular basis than a scriptwriter so could cost as fortune. I have writen a song and I think the lyrics are Excellant. I havn't gone back to it for a while but when I do I will let you know(especially when I learn more about copying)...


I have grown up around thge entertainment industry, A friend of my dad's claims he wrote the theme song for a well known television programme, but someone got hold of it changed one word and he got nothing, and no proof...

I wouldnt doubt him, he is one of the biggest names in couyntry music (british) and has written many quality songs.


Any way thanks for resonding and please if anyone knows more (even administrators) let us know......

Thats a really nice song james... This is the first time i've came onto the forum and i'm impressed... ive got a little girl of 18months and the words are special.... ive had a little go at playing but i am still a bit of a novice.....


I have written a couple of songs, how safe is it to put them on here? do you know anything about copywriting the songs?


Cheers and keep writing!!!
