What does it mean to have rights to your music?

When you write a song, you automatically own the copyright to it. This means that no one can use your song without your permission. It also gives you the legal right to sue anyone who tries to use your song without your consent. To ensure you have the rights to your music, you need to understand the process of getting music rights. One way to acquire music rights is by purchasing them from the original copyright owner or through licensing agreements. By obtaining the necessary rights, you can protect your song from unauthorized use and exercise control over its usage.
