…I am writing new songs again but before I release them to the public, I’m going to get them strictly copyrighted, next time around. I’m not going to have other bands taking my songs and doing whatever they want with them so they can make fun of them. Not gonna happen this time. They would have to ask my permission if they want to cover my songs. I’m just going to get a homemade demo made hopefully in 2012 and then mail it to the copyright offices to get it done, then I’ll release them to the public. I did get my first demo CD in 2006 copyrighted.

Edit to add: That’s the big problem with unsigned bands & solo musicians. They don’t copyright their stuff. It’s important to do if you don’t want anyone covering your songs or even worse stealing them and putting them under their names. Bands & musicians don’t think people will steal songs but it can happen. Learn about copyright and protect your work.
