actually it was someone else who suggested the witness protection program. i think you are both correct - in theory. the problem arises if it goes to court and there is a need to prove that a given song among many was created by such a date. if you work months on a song, it doesn't hurt to get it some real protection from the copyright office.

<<© 2008 Your Name + plus a witness to verify it's your work

This is all that is needed for court, should the need arise.>>

The only thing I would add to the correct info everyone has posted here is that thanks to the internet, 

it easier than ever to "publish your work" (ie; putting your song up on a myspace or other artist-promoting internet 

site, for selling or listening.)

This constitutes what Mr GAMoore suggests as having a witness to the work. In the old days, that could mean selling your song

on vinyl or having it played to the masses on the radio.

Now, we just post it up there, and blammo! The entire world can hear it in an instance.

Always put the copyright on your tack (you can do this in Waveburner and iTunes too, I believe.)

Or, at least have something on your website that says somethi
ng like; 

"ALL CONTENT ON THIS PAGE ©2008 your-name-here"

That protects every song and your pictures & graphics too.

Good luck!

Charlie
