I thought I had heard something about that before. My dad is also a writer and he told me something like that. The way I understood what he said any work was copyrighted as soon as it was written, but to me that didn't make any sense.
So if I have it right this time, my songs are copyrighted, but in order to prove it I need to get the document.
That's a relief, but is this a little-known fact or something? I believe you because it's something I've heard before, but why is everyone else saying I have to buy a copyright? Or is there some other caveat that I don't know about...
