Factual information about the music catalogue and how the rights are held.
The compositions and master recordings are held in an IP trust, which grants the Company a perpetual, exclusive license to the copyright rights, reproduction, derivative, distribution, public performance, public display, and digital audio transmission.
Under the Berne Convention, original works are copyright-protected in each member country, currently 181, without separate registration in each. (Details in the Copyright section.)
U.S. copyright terms extend for decades beyond a work's creation or publication. The exact term is set by statute (17 U.S.C. § 302) and quoted in the Copyright section below.
The catalogue is held in a single dedicated IP trust, with a perpetual license to the Company, one chain of title and a single point of administration.
Under 17 U.S.C. § 106, copyright grants exclusive rights to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, and digitally transmit the work. Per the U.S. Copyright Office, these rights may be licensed, sold, or transferred, in whole or in part.
Shares are recorded by a registered transfer agent (ClearTrust, LLC), and transactions are conducted through Nasdaq Private Markets.
How the rights are held and how long copyright lasts, with the governing law cited so each statement can be independently verified.
The compositions and master recordings are owned by a dedicated intellectual-property trust, which grants Songs for Centuries Inc. a perpetual, exclusive license to commercialize them, for the full duration of copyright. This separates ownership (the trust) from operations (the Company) and gives a clean, single chain of title.
“For works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years. For an anonymous work, a pseudonymous work, or a work made for hire, the copyright endures for a term of 95 years from the year of its first publication or a term of 120 years from the year of its creation, whichever expires first.”
Source: U.S. Copyright Office (see 17 U.S.C. § 302). Which term applies depends on each work's authorship; this is provided for general information, not legal advice.
Under the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization, WIPO), an original work is automatically protected by copyright in every member country, currently 181, from the moment of creation, with no need to register separately in each nation. That is the legal basis for the catalogue's worldwide protection.
In general, under SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, an individual may qualify as an accredited investor if they meet one or more of the following. This is a summary only, SEC rules and Nasdaq Private Markets' verification process govern.

Not an offer. This web page is for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, quotes no price or terms, and is not investment, legal, or tax advice.
