Why Register?
Avoid name collisions
Nothing is worse than building a following under a name, only to discover another band is already using it. The registry lets musicians check before they commit.
Establish a public record
A registry entry creates a timestamped, public record that you claimed the name. It's not a trademark, but it demonstrates intent and prior use.
Help other musicians
When you register, other bands searching for names can see yours is taken. It's a community resource that benefits everyone.
