Yes, Arthur, the world is FULL of songwriters just
waiting -- with fangs bared and claws out -- to rip
off your disjointed, fragmented, inconsequential song
ideas. Think of all the money, fame and cocaine other
artists will receive by stealing one of YOUR SONGS. It
happens all the time: in fact, I'm thinking of
stealing a Cliff Hillis song myself, just because
there's so much money to be made. ;)
Come on, Arthur, what've you written, "Tommy"? "Split
Milk?" "Varying Degrees of Failure and Tunelessness"?
I didn't think so.
It's highly doubtful anyone will even ACKNOWLEDGE your
music, let alone 'take credit' for it. Don't be such a
pustule; put your music out there and let it stand on
its own -- or let it fall flat on its face. If you're
such an amazing writer, why worry about being ripped
off? You can always write another great song.
Oh, try this:

Reminds me of a story: I met a songwriter at a recent
local open-mic night up here on the Central Coast; I
struck up a conversation with the gal who said she'd
written some amazing songs. I asked where I could hear
her music, and she said, "Oh, no, I won't play my
music for ANYONE; someone will steal my ideas and take
credit for them."
ROFLMAO.
Songwriters: get a life ya'll. The industry -- and the
world, for that matter -- has rendered you obsolete.
Go learn code or something equally banal.
The Lord has spoken.
