In this video, Berklee Online instructor Dr. E. Michael Harrington discusses the ins and outs of what a copyright lawsuit means for a musician. What should you do if you think your song has been copied? First of all, copyright issues are a federal matter. Discovery of all of the facts at the start of the process is the key to a successful outcome of a lawsuit! Oftentimes, cases simply settle rather than complete the process from beginning to end. Trials involve many aspects: discovery, depositions, cross-examination, and evidence. Awards can range from $750 to $150,000 per instances of copyright infringement. Even though going through the process of trials for copyright infringement can be tricky, it is worse to let someone get away with stealing your song!
