It's about having the earliest dated sample of the song. The band that
actually creates the song would have earlier proof, if they bothered to take similar
precautions. But more to the point, if it's YOUR SONG, then nobody is going
to have an earlier date, so you'd be protected.
Thanks for the info everybody.. Obviously I've heard about the "put the
CD in an envelope and mail it to yourself" version for years. Everything
on the internet says that every song you write should be registered with
the Library Of Congress, to be SAFE. It costs something like $30 per song
and they say that's what most people do. At least most people on
Google it seems :) ..
The only thing I'd be worried about is hearing something I'd written turn
up in a movie or on TV and then trying to convince everyone that I was the
one who wrote it.
