Question about copyright

Hey all,

I'm new to this forum. I discovered it just two days ago, and I'm really glad I found a place with like-minded people with regards to composition. I just have a general question regarding copyright, before I begin to upload some of my music.

I'm no legal expert, nor do I publish my music, so I'm not really worried, but is anything we post here under some sort of "non-discretion"? I guess I just want to stay on the safe side... thanks, hope I'm not sounding too paranoid. :w00t:

Not a problem. Your work is your work. I suppose by default you grant the site the right to distribute copies of your work (for free).

Also, welcome aboard. be prepared, though, the critics here are very nasty at times and unrestrained.

i guess that's ok, im not a recognized composer or anything, so at this point in my life id rather have free copies around for exposure and comments than not. i wouldnt wanna watch a movie one day and hear my theme in it because the film composer saw it here on this forum :w00t:

as far as the nasty critics, i think that's a very good thing. a harsh criticism that is appropriate and correct can be good, obviously some can be nasty and also ignorant (seeing a lot of that on youtube for example). ultimately i think a composition can receive both types, from the unknowing and insanely critical public and from more knowledgeable and respectful people, and i personally am interested in hearing both (even tho I'd internally discard the first type)
