copyright material

[CRISB]

Does anyone know the best way to copyright original music? Years ago my band used to send ourselves a cassette with our originals. Since it went through the post office (dated) & we never opened it, we were told this was a cheap man's way of copyrighting. Is that true? What else can one do to copyright songs? I want it to be legit.

Thanks

Chris

It's not legit and it won't hold up if it goes to court.

www.loc.gov/copyright/forms/ has the forms you need to do it right.
