💭 Your Words Are Your Creation

Every line you write — every emotion you turn into words — is your creative property. That means your song belongs to you, as long as it’s original and not copied from someone else’s work. In today’s world of digital content, protecting originality is more important than ever. AvidSong helps you do that — but first, you must understand how it works.

✍️ 1. Writing Original Lyrics Safely

Original lyrics come from your heart and experience — not from another artist’s lines.  Even if you’re inspired by a famous song, your words must be your own version of that feeling.

🪶 Example:

Don’t copy a known line like:“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.” Instead, try something personal:“You’re the light that never fades in my sky.”

💡 Tip:

You can use common ideas — love, loss, hope, dreams — but the expression (how you say it) must be unique. Avoid lifting direct lines, rhymes, or phrases from other songs, poems, or movie dialogues. Even one copied phrase can cause a copyright issue later.

🔍 2. Checking for Existing Phrases Online

Before submitting your lyrics to AvidSong, it’s smart to check if any of your lines already exist elsewhere. This protects both you and the platform.

💻 How to check:

• Copy one or two unique lines from your song.
•  Paste them in Google Search within quotation marks — like this:“your exact lyric here”
• If no close results appear, your line is likely original.

🎵 Example:

Search “The sky forgets your name tonight” — if nothing similar shows up, you’re safe.

💡 Bonus Tip:
Avoid using full quotes, slogans, or brand names in your lyrics — those can cause legal or copyright blocks during global distribution.

🏆 3. Understanding Ownership Under AvidSong

When you upload lyrics to AvidSong, you remain the original writer and copyright holder of your words. AvidSong never takes away your authorship. Here’s how ownership works:

🎶 You (the writer):

Own the copyright to your lyrics.

🎶 AvidSong Studio:

Holds limited rights to produce, publish, and distribute your work — so it can reach listeners globally.

🎶 Shared songs:

If you collaborate with others (vocalists, producers, AI co-writers),  their creative parts are shared under AvidSong’s standard collaboration agreement.

🎶 Credit & transparency:

Every published song clearly displays who wrote, composed, and produced it.

💡 Important:

If you later purchase an External Distribution Licence, you’ll also earn 50% of royalties from other platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Your creative credit stays forever — even if the song evolves through collaboration.

🌟 In Short

• Always write from your own thoughts and emotions.
• Check your lines online to avoid unintentional copying.
• You always own your lyrics — AvidSong just helps you bring them to life.

Originality isn’t about being the first — it’s about being authentically you. 🎶
