: I have a song that I have written specifically for Conoco, but could be used for any gas station ending in "O" that is three syllable. What is the best way firstly to copywrite my song, and then what is the best way to ensure that a company will accept my material>? Also who should I address my song to at Conoco ? Their advertising dept?

Dear Rachael Haines,
There is no difficulty in registering a copyright. The law already covers what you have done.

The tough part is finding the people that will even listen to it. In the days of Horatio Alger about 100 years ago, you would meet the right person the person would like what you had and you would be rich.
