Copyright Question

[SINMIN]

do you honestly think me being happy keeps any man safe???

i can still hurt someone with a smile on my face.

[creeper2]

but you are not as menacing and vicious when you are happy and smiling.

[SINMIN]

You might want to ask around about that. You'd be surprised.

I have heard that the mailing method won't hold up in court.

[creeper2]

think its more of a cheap scare tactic.

[SINMIN]

Just never ever let anyone see or hear anything you write. Then you won't have to worry about spending the money to copyright anything.

Now why would I want to do the world that type of favor? Hell, I would actually be thrilled if somebody stole one of my songs! That would tell me somebody actually liked the fucking things! LOL!!!

[Carl I.]

You mean copywriting is more than drawing a circle around a "c" on your covers? Heh, what do ya know!

The Mail method does hold up in court but it has to be opened in the presence of a judge after being submitted into evidence.I've been doing this for years.You can also get lyrics notarized before sealing the envelope for double protection.
Also another loophole in copyrighting a complete work (such as a cd) is that you are copyrighting the cd as whole and not the songs individually.For instance say you copyright a complete cd and it has 10 songs on it. The songs are in order from A to J. By reversing or changing the order of the songs you have created a new product.This was a loophole used to rerelease Orphan Punks songs in which the publishing had already been sold.Sometimes attorneys ain't so bad. lol
