The Copyright Office #2 03/31/12

        Before I started with the two forms about submitting an application to the United States Copyright Office, I had to go over the fact that, as stated at one of the US Copyright Office website, "Although they are separate works, a musical composition and a sound recording may be registered together on a single application if ownership of the copyrights in both is exactly the same. To register a single claim in both works, give information about the author(s) of both the musical composition and the sound recording.
Filing an Original Claim to Copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office An application for copyright registration contains three essential elements: a completed application form, a nonrefundable filing fee, and a nonreturnable deposit—that is, a copy or copies of the work being registered and “deposited”
with the Copyright Office."
        By reading this statement I could see the fact that it is good for the person and the Office to process the intellectual property to get it officially protected by the copyright faster and very economically. On the other hand, I also came across to the question about one of the copyright law I went over few days ago: which was about the fact that music sheets have the right to public performance, but not the sound recordings. I thought, "If I turn my sound recording with a music sheet and by any chance gets very popular, then I could I get the right for public performance?"
        This bothered me very much because this erases the whole problem of the copyright law of not giving the sound recordings the right to public performance, because everything can be fixed by just turning an application with not just the sound recording but also with the music sheet of that song.
        On the other hand, it is clear that, for whatever reason, this particular problem is yet to be solved. Therefore, I would look through if my theory is correct, and if it's not then I would try to answer why I am wrong.
