International Copyright Question

[dpenn]

Say I compose a song in the US and register it with the Library of Congress. Now I want to market/promote it on an international level. Does the LOC copyright protect me internationally, and if not, how do you protect yourself in the global market?Thanks,Dave

Thanks for the reply - I'll check it out.

Yep - I checked and it would be covered under the Berne Convention. Never heard of that before - learn something new every day! Thanks Matto!!!
