I don't know about the best, but I do know the easiest. Make a copy of the
song and mail it to yourself -- and don't open the package. It's been stamped
and dated by the US Government and makes a compelling legal document. I read
this somewhere, so it's not like I'm completely making it up. And it makes
logical sense. But mostly, the appeal is that it's real, real easy to do.
