Every song is two copyrights.
Most artists never register both.
A chain-of-title packet built around USCO PA and SR. The vault holds the signed proof, and the health check is the evidence.
One song. Two copyrights.
The composition is the melody and lyrics. The sound recording is the master. Registering one does not cover the other.
