I had some of my stuff copyrighted at the Library of Congress back in the eighties. Back then, it was $10.00... And it was still a lot of money to me. I had plans of putting out an EP, but I eventually gave up on it.

Even though I still have the original paperwork, I searched their website to see if they're still there. It took awhile, but I finally found them. According to the listing, they still have the cassette I handed in with the forms.

I think now, you can upload your tune with the on line forms. I was surprised to see that it jumped up to $35.00... I don't know why I was, though. We're talking about the government after all.

The mail thing is called a "Poor Man's Copyright"... Registered mail is better, but I believe you can just send it to yourself and the postmark is your proof. Then once you get it, you leave it sealed. I don't know how that holds up if you have a dispute, though.

Thanks, it means a lot to me to hear someone say that.
