In my humble opinion, having researched copyright issues for various
reasons over the past ten years, you should forget about registration
issues and concentrate on trying to create something worth stealing.
If you were to register every song you think might get stolen, you might
spend thousands, only to eventually realize that the problem is not
guarding your work, but getting it out there, and getting it heard.
This is why successful songwriters work for publishers (or own their
publishing company and understand how the business works). If you
write fifty songs a month, you don't register every one, you
take them to your publisher who picks three that he thinks he can
pitch to money-making artists, does the paperwork, and starts
marketing. Meanwhile, you ****can the rest of that bunch of songs,
or put them on the shelf until the right customer comes along (the
publisher may even remember that you had a song about something that
an artist is looking for months from now). But you don't sing them at
the local coffee house or post them on a web site either (unless you
register them first).
