CopyrightOffice.eu - A new service by the makers of ChristianDance.eu to help protect the copyrights of creators / authors

 

If you are an author / creator looking for ways to protect the copyrights of your designs / notes / work, even before it is completed & published, then CopyrightOffice.eu may be interesting for you. 

The team of ChristianDance.eu built a new service called CopyrightOffice.eu, in response to challenges faced by a number of artists that we work with.  

Many countries have a Copyright Act that automatically protects the copyright of works (e.g. literature, science, or art) from the moment the work is created, on the condition that the work in question is an original work. As the author or creator, you determine what happens with your work. 

BUT... How do you protect your rights during creation? How can you prove that the credit for a Work is yours? How do you prove when a Work was (partially) created? 

We asked quite a few musicians/artists if they are able to prove that their 'Works' actually existed before it was released/published. If so, can they prove on which date it existed, and can they confidently demonstrate that the copy they have in their archive represents the version that existed at that time (read: has not been altered)? How do they do this for draft versions of their lyrics & music during the creation process? Until you actually publish your Work, it is not easy to prove that your Work existed, until now... 

If you are in a position where you are looking for a way to prove that your documented ideas, notes, designs, draft versions, completed works existed at a certain point in time, then check out the service of CopyrightOffice.eu. The registration process does not even require you to upload any content to our systems. More details on: https://www.CopyrightOffice.eu 

If you want to give the service a try, then here is a discount coupon that you can use to bypass the payment part of the process. We will honor this code for the first 20 registrations that you submit during April 2021.

Use the following coupon as the 'Transaction ID' when submitting the registration form (max. 20 registrations).

  • Self-Declared registration - With this discount code, the self-declared registrations you submit will be FREE OF CHARGE (up to a total of 20 self-declared and/or witnessed registrations submitted in April 2021)

    We will send you a payment request for €10,00 via Paypal prior to scheduling the witnessing session. 


PS: This activity will also be used to help fund the mobile recording facility that we have. This recording facility is used to make high-quality recordings on location (e.g. choirs, church organ recitals, etc.). Due to COVID-19, we need to invest in more protective measures for the engineers and the performing artists.

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

"Blame Jesus" by Drew Parker: When Grace Rewrites Your Story

Who were you before Jesus found you?  Drew Parker spent a decade chasing a country music dream. He got the record deal, the Opry stage, the number 1 songs written for other artists. Then Jesus interrupted the plan. Drew realized that he’d spent years asking God to bless his ambitions instead of surrendering to God’s. So he decided to walk away from something that was working, not something that was failing. Walking away like this requires a special kind of courage.  In the song “Blame Jesus”, Drew Parker and Steven Curtis Chapman share Drew’s story in plain terms. The song speaks about burning bridges, chasing a “lost highway,” being “a prodigal, a rebel on a losing streak.” Sound familiar? Most of us may have seen a comparable variation of that story in our lives. When God is working in our lives, things change! Drew sings about that change: “these days if you look at me, and what you see ain’t what you used to see.” He doesn’t credit it to willpower or self-improvement. H...

"Psalm 13 (So Good)" by Red Letter Society & Jordan West: From Lament to Praise

Can honest sorrow and steady faith coexist?  Jordan West and Red Letter Society released “Psalm 13 (So Good)” as part of their Psalms Project, a project aimed at working through all 150 psalms, one song at a time. Psalm 13 doesn’t waste words. It opens with a question David asks four times: “How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?” That’s not a form of polite prayer language. In this moment, David is a man in pain, staring at silence, wondering if God even remembers his name.  The song holds that tension. “How long will you hide?” the lyrics ask, and then, “sorrow in my eyes.” No performance. No pretending. Just raw honesty directed straight to heaven through prayer. Have you ever prayed like that? Most of us will have felt something similar at certain points in our lives, even if we never shared that with others… or tried to hide it from God… There’s a turning point in this psalm. David moves from questioning to trusting: “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; m...
