Question: Does the copyright office have special mailing requirements?

Answer: Our only requirement is that all three elements the application, the copy or copies of the work, and the filing fee be sent in the same package.

Question: What is the mandatory deposit?

Answer: Mandatory deposit requires the owner of copyright or the exclusive right of distribution to deposit in the Copyright Office for the use of the Library of Congress two complete copies of the best edition within 3 months after a work is published.

Question: Do I need a license to sample a track?

Answer: "Yes, you must obtain a clearance, or copyright license, for every sample that you use in your recordings. You can get a license from the copyright owner directly and negotiate a fee. Also, because both the composition and the sound recording are used in a sample track, you must obtain two clearances: one from the owner of the copyright in the song, and one from the owner of the rights to the sound recording. Sometimes this may not be the same person or company."
