There are not a lot of things to think about, but just a few landmarks to be aware of =) Rights I have all rights to the songs that I write, pretty fucking simple!! Public use People are free to listen to my songs (for private use), when on a party etc. If someone would like to use the song, make a cover or use my lyrics/music for something, they need to contact me about it. In short terms, any use that couldn't possible give someone money is a free use =) Sharing Anyone can download my music to save it on their machine (PC, phone, mp3-player etc. Anyone can share my music to a third part. Aaaaand I think that will be it. Simple and clean!
