I've been wrestling with something for a little while, now.
For a couple of months, I have been attempting to recreate the EP that my band made in 1983. I want to get it done before I am no longer able.
Initially, I told myself that it was for my children and loved ones for when I'm gone; something about which I was passionate that they can have to remember me in a positive way.
I have three of the four songs finished. They sound pretty damned good, if I do say so, myself.
I find myself toying with the idea of posting them on YouTube or otherwise publishing them. I don't know if I really want to "take the plunge".
Back in the 80s, I did "the poor man's copyright" and mailed the chord charts and lyrics to myself. Also, we had the physical records (people under 30 years of age, look them up on Wikipedia) so, proving ownership was accomplished for the time.
Those letters have been lost with time and the records that weren't sent to radio stations and record companies and talent agencies have also gone the way of all flesh.
Being that this is a new century and all the technological advances, it would seem that e-mailing the songs to myself and then, posting them to YouTube would "re-establish" ownership.
I wrote all the songs so, they're mine. No legal issues, there.
So ... I guess my question is: Should I publish the songs to YouTube or should I just keep them for my own familial posterity?
Also, does anyone know if there's a way to just let certain people have access to certain videos on my YouTube page?
