MU and Copyright

[tWoKp.]

i've learned alot about the music business here in the uk and its pretty much the same with the us. Im just wondering if we got the same thing in the PI i mean may Musicians Union ba tayo where we could seek for legal advice from music lawyers? and what about copyrighting songs. Do we have a library of congress there where we could get our songs copyrighted or is it the same here in england na ok lang yung poor mans copyright?

THANK YOU!!!! yan ang kailangan ko! what about musicians union or MCPS-PRS (http://www.mcps.co.uk/) to be more specific this guys collect the royalties that your suppose to be getting from the record companies. Basically they help you not to get ripped off by your record company. Im just wondering whats the equivalent of this societies there in philippines.

SALAMAT BRO!!! i luv this forum!!!

 Just a heads up on this.  I always keep a look out for anyone thinking of using the poor mans copyright.  Take a look at the the poor mans copyright website before commiting yourself to it.  It's not as easy to use as people think.
