I have designed a CD cover for a solo artist. How would i go about submitting it and to whom? also, how do i protect myself from the record co., producers, the managers themselves, etc from using all or any part of it with or without compensation? I have sent a copy of it to my own email address. the copy has my full name, signature, DOB, the last four of my SSN and the date created. basically i just need to know the legal stuff
