I don't know if this is true or not, but, a lawyer told me this......

Record your song or songs, put them on a C.D., and mail it to yourself. Be sure to use an envelope that seals up nicely. When you receive it in the mail, don't open it, put it in a safe place. When you mail it to yourself, the post office will stamp the date on it. Because the post office is a government office, the sealed C.D. in the envelope would prove that you wrote and recorded the song(s) as of the date on the envelope...Not exactly a copyright, but I was told it would hold up in court if that situation ever came to be.....

Like I said, I don't know if this is true...Has anyone else ever heard of this?
