What is the easiest and cheapest way to legaly sell a beat?
mtp1178 said:Say if I just sold a beat, Straight up cash for the track, thats it. After reading this I see that I did some things wrong. As far as the copyrighting and what not, should i take the "legal route" and actually send the material off to D.C or would the "poor man's" route be appropriate? Is it to late to go back and enter a contract into the agreement? Or am I just screwed?

The problem is I have limited income and knowlege of the business side of things. So I am trying to get this going asap but I don't want to do something that gets me in trouble. So would you recomend getting the copyright before or after the beat is sold or can it go both ways? And I thought trademarks were the way to make the beat legaly yours. Did I have that mixed up? But ya man, thats the story. I know the beats can and will sell. I just need some direction. Thank you for any help you give me I am forever greatfull!
much love,
