Studio to the Courtroom

You’ve poured your heart into writing and recording your song.
In the studio, it’s all about creativity — melodies, lyrics, beats, and emotion.
But in the real world, especially if your music is ever stolen or disputed, it comes down to one question:

Can you prove you own it?

That’s where evidence of ownership becomes your best friend.

Why Verbal Claims Don’t Hold Up in Court

You might think:

“I wrote this song. I have the session files. My friends know it’s mine.”

Unfortunately, none of that guarantees legal protection.
In a dispute, courts require hard evidence — documentation that can be independently verified. Without it, you’re in a he-said-she-said battle that could cost you time, money, and your rights.

The High Stakes of Music Disputes

Music ownership disputes happen for many reasons:

  • A collaborator claims they wrote more than they did.
  • A label or publisher disputes your contract terms.
  • Another artist releases a song alarmingly similar to yours.

In these cases, the side with clear, verifiable proof of authorship almost always wins.

From Inspiration to Documentation
