The CLEAR Act bill could leave unregistered songs unprotected.
Introduced in Congress in February 2026, the CLEAR Act is a proposed bill that would require AI companies to disclose copyrighted works used in training — but only registered copyrights would qualify. If passed, most independent artists who never register could be left out. Labels already do it systematically.
Copyright exists automatically, but registration unlocks the ability to sue, collect statutory damages, and recover attorney's fees. Whether or not this bill becomes law, registration protects you.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as searching copyright.gov?
We use the same official Copyright Office data, but we've indexed it for speed. A search that takes minutes on copyright.gov takes under 2 seconds here. Plus, we offer bulk catalog checking, confidence scoring, and CSV export — features copyright.gov doesn't have.
How current is the data?
Our database covers registrations from January 1978 through June 2025, sourced from the Copyright Office's public bulk dataset released in January 2026. We'll update when the next dataset drops (expected mid-2026).
What if my song isn't found?
A missing result doesn't guarantee your work is unregistered — it may be registered under a different title, author name, or spelling. It could also be registered after June 2025. We recommend double-checking at copyright.gov for any critical decisions.
Is copyright registration the same as owning a copyright?
No. Copyright exists automatically the moment you create an original work. Registration with the Copyright Office is a separate, voluntary step that gives you additional legal protections — including the ability to sue for infringement, collect statutory damages, and recover attorney's fees.
How much does it cost to register a song?
Registration through the U.S. Copyright Office costs $65 per work (as of 2026). You can register online at copyright.gov. It's one of the highest-ROI investments an independent artist can make.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. All paid plans are month-to-month with no contracts. Cancel anytime from your account page — you'll keep access through the end of your billing period.
