The Copyright Valuation Sprint

In three days, turn one of your songs from an abstract creation into a well-defined, priceable asset.

This sprint forces you to confront the business reality of your art. You will audit the ownership of a song, explore its commercial licensing potential, and attach a justifiable value to its copyright.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Choose one song. Create a 'Split Sheet' document listing all songwriters, their percentage shares, and their PRO affiliation. If you are the sole writer, document this. This is the foundational ownership record.
  2. Day 2Use an AI tool to generate a 'Sync Mood Board' for your song. Prompt it to create a visual collage and list five keywords (e.g., 'uplifting,' 'wistful,' 'driving') that describe your song's emotional texture. This defines its commercial emotional profile.
  3. Day 3Research the typical sync fee range for an indie artist in a national TV ad. Based on the emotional power of your song, write a one-paragraph justification for why you would price your song at the mid-to-high end of that range. This connects emotional resonance to a dollar value.
