Rights Back®
Copyright Reversion Tool
Welcome

Find Out if Your Music Qualifies for Reversion Under the Copyright Act

U.S. copyright law gives songwriters the right to reclaim rights they signed away — but the windows are narrow, technical, and time-sensitive. This free tool helps you understand where you stand in minutes.

Step 3 of 4 — Results

Your termination analysis

These results are informational only and not legal advice. Termination eligibility depends on many specific factors.

These results are estimates only. Termination under §203 and §304 is highly technical — errors in dates or parties can affect validity. For co-written songs, termination rights are held jointly and require majority consent; this analysis assumes you are the sole writer or will coordinate with co-writers separately.
Step 3b of 4 — Monetization

You may still have options

Even if the statutory termination window has passed, you may have opportunities to monetize your song royalties or explore a sale or licensing transaction.
