Your Music Deserves Protection.
Not Paperwork.
Traditional copyright registration costs $65 per song and takes months. Q the Music protects every track you upload instantly, for free, with blockchain verification and legal certificates.
Copyright Registration is Broken
for Independent Artists
If you've ever looked into protecting your music, you know the frustration:
- •$45-$65 per song to register with the US Copyright Office
- •3-12 months processing time
- •Complex forms and legal jargon
- •No protection until the government approves it
- •Expensive legal fees if you need to enforce it
For independent artists releasing 10-20 tracks a year, that's $450-$1,300 just to register your copyrights. The system wasn't built for you. It was built for record labels with legal teams and deep pockets.
