: : Hey, I heard that you could "copyright" songs and lyrics by simply recording the music and writing the lyrics, then mail them back to yourself...I know it's not official, but, would this be good enough to hold up in court??? Especially if the package you send remains unopened until the point that a individual or group comes into any mishap??? Could someone please clear this up for me??? I would appreciate an e-mail if possible. Thanx : Dear Stone, : Cheap solutions usually don't work. I've been to court with this one. There is a way to use somthing similar as evidence. Basically you have to do it right and know what you are doing. : M.
