Yes. Really.
Really!@
Go back and read what the man that started the thread wrote homie.
" musical compositions and sound recordings. Musical compositions are merely “songs” - melody, rhythm, arrangement, lyrics (if there are any)."
1. So already we see that you skimmed through and did not read.
2. Posting anything to a website is also considered publishing. There is more than one kind (of publishing). The act of placing anything on the internet is publishing my friend.
As said in the eHow article
How to Publish Music on the Web
(I am sure you know of e-how right - Here is option #4)
"Feature your MP3 files on sites like MP3, or your own website. You may also feature music on MySpace, or other social networking sites. First, rip your songs into MP3 format using a program like Cubase or SoundForge, then upload to the website of your choice. Consult iTunes and other major sites to gain the widest Web audience for your music.
3. When you hire a publishing company online this is what they do. They put your catalog on a website and leave it open for the public to find. You being found depending on how similar what they are looking for is to what you have.
4. Please sir just stop being negative. If you would take a second to understand what people are sayin instead of thinking your the only one that knows something. You might learn something.
5. I think you just did!
My friend this OP is about publishing music.
What is a composition?
I simply placed some information on the topic relating to it in my profession which is producing. In order to help others that are in need of some info. I am simply stating that if a producer wishes to do their own online publishing (because many seek publishing companies), there are ways of doing it yourself. I gave them those ways to do it yourself. Which are very accurate. Google my website my friend. Google anything about my company. Mys success speaks for itself.
Gather your senses please, and rethink your disagreement with my intentions. You are reading with your mind closed. Something that can lead to mis understanding.
Question: I am already a registered member of BMI. Just starting out as a beatmaker, do I just need to register each beat with BMI? Or do I have to pay to copyright each one? I just want to make sure ALL the beats I make are going to be protected from pirating. What should I do to get started?
Thanks,

Old thread, but to chime in...2010 going into 2011...f**k pub, 9 times out of 10...more upfront will do you better than waiting on royalties.
At least from my experience. I'll waive pub for an extra $5k on most commercial projects currently. Better than waiting another 12 months for $8k.
